“Tor does not anonymize individuals when they use their legal name on a public forum, use a VPN with logs that are subject to a subpoena, or provide personal information to other services. See also the list of warnings linked from the Tor download page. Also, while we’ve seen no evidence that this case involved breaking into the webserver behind the hidden service, we should take this opportunity to emphasize that Tor’s hidden service feature (a way to publish and access content anonymously) won’t keep someone anonymous when paired with unsafe software or unsafe behavior.”
