+Tor and the Silk Road takedown
+------------------------------
+
+On 2nd October, Ross Ulbricht a.k.a Dread Pirate Roberts got arrested and
+his hidden service site Silk Road was taken down [XXX].
+
+After several requests by the press and others to talk about the Silk Road 
+situation, Roger Dingledine released official statement on the blog [XXX],
+saying there were probably no flaws used, based mainly on the information 
+from the official Criminal complaint againts Ulbricht [XXX].
+“So far, nothing about this case makes us think that there are new ways to 
+compromise Tor (the software or the network).”
+
+Even though Tor hasn’t been compromised, it does not work when used improperly 
+or as Roger puts it: “Tor does not anonymize individuals when they use their 
+legal name on a public forum [XXX?], use a VPN with logs that are subject to a 
+subpoena, or provide personal information to other services.”
+
+To learn how to user Tor properly read few basic rules [XXX].
