+New tranche of NSA/GCHQ Tor documents released
+----------------------------------------------
+
+After a cameo appearance in previous leaked intelligence
+documents [XXX], Tor found itself at the center of attention in the
+latest installment of the ongoing Snowden disclosures after a series
+of stories were published in the Guardian and the Washington Post that
+detailed alleged attempts by NSA, GCHQ, and their allies to defeat or
+circumvent the protection that Tor offers its users. A number of
+source materials, redacted by the newspapers, were published to
+accompany the articles.
+
+The documents in question [XXX] offer, alongside characteristically
+entertaining illustrations, an overview of the Tor network from the
+point of view of the intelligence agencies, as well as a summary of
+attacks against Tor users and the network as a whole that they have
+considered or carried out.
+
+Despite the understandable concern provoked among users by these
+disclosures, Tor developers themselves were encouraged by the often
+relatively basic or out-of-date nature of the attacks described.
