The FBI launched operation Torpedo where he used controversial methods to counter the techniques of Tor that keeps anonymous navigations. Tim DeFoggi, the former head of computer security at the US Department of Health and Human Services was arrested and accused of having frequented the PedoBook, a site created by a Nebraska citizen who has also been arrested.
DeFoggi was registered on various sites that could only be seen through the Tor and had at its disposal over 100 videos and 17 thousand photographs of child pornography, reports the ArsTechnica.
The FBI investigation lasted from 2011 and the author of the sites was monitored for more than a year, so if you can gather all the conversations with other suspects, as is the case with DeFoggi. The authorities have installed malware on the computer of the suspects to be able to monitor and so overthrow Tor technology that lets you navigate in anonymity.
DeFoggi's sentence should be known in November.
