The Russian government has put out the call for anyone to make an application capable of identifying users of Tor to access the Internet. The winner of the project will receive about $111K for their solution to Tor’s anonymity from the Russian government and probably the scrutiny of the NSA to boot.
Tor is used by journalists, activists, and of course people conducting illegal activities. In Russia it’s been an especially useful tool against censorship.
