how 4 Tor users were deanonymized

An alliance of intelligence agencies, apart of the 14 eyes alliance, banded together in order to deanonymize and arrest several users of the Tor browser, who were admins for the website boystown, being hosted on the Tor network as a Tor hidden service (now called an onion service). This attack involved a guard discovery attack where the feds, such as the FBI, were able to find the true IP address of a specific Tor relay known as the exit node. Whether you're a pen tester, security researcher, or cyber security expert, I hope you'll find this attack as fascinating as I did.
