   The National Security Agency uses a bit of jiu-jitsu to turn the   
   structure of Web ad networks against people who run Tor to remain   
   anonymous.   
      
    Just because the National Security Agency hasn't cracked the   
   anonymizing service Tor doesn't mean that people who use the   
   service are free from surveillance.   
      
   The NSA has been able to use ad networks like Google's, and The   
   Onion Router's own entry and exit nodes on the Internet, to follow   
   some Tor users, according to a new report based on documents   
   leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden and obtained by security   
   researcher Bruce Schneier with the Guardian. Tor is primarily   
   funded by the US State Department and the Department of Defense,   
   home of the NSA.
