[tor-talk] Darknet Sites Shutdown

[spaceman]

Hi,

http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29950946

Does anyone know if this was user or operator error, or vulnerabilities in 
application used that the FBI know about and are actively exploiting?  
Basically does anyone how they managed to take so many 'hidden' services?

I can't believe that 400 sites all made stupid mistakes thus revealing their 
identity. Therefore they must have had an exploit that they are using to take 
down all these sites (either in tor or some other application).
