Technology Hackers claim to have cracked Microsoft's software licensing protection almost entirely

I don't use Tor very often, but I did use it a few weeks ago (a whim), and within an hour or so (maybe it was minutes?) after using it, I got an alert that from my router's IDS/IPS that it blocked an attempted intrusion, and I typically get those alerts only about twice a year, so the alert shortly after using Tor (probably Tails) seemed like more than just a coincidence. I assume someone is listening at Tor exit nodes, but just a hunch

Probably a IDS/IPS false positive.

U.S. Government can hire anybody to create a Tor node or nodes, and that is exactly what it does. It subcontracts to parties unknown whom configure the node to intercept and decrypt traffic flow across the node. There are nodes that are created and the government lies-in-wait until it needs to activate the components need to track and decrypt traffic.

Every other government does the same. Russia, China, Iran, DPRK, India, Belarus, blah, blah, blah.

This is hardly news. It is widely known since soon after the creation of the Tor Project.
