Talk on cracking Internet anonymity service Tor withdrawn from conference

By Joseph Menn | SAN FRANCISCO, July 21

"A heavily anticipated talk on how to identify users of the Tor Internet privacy service has been withdrawn from the upcoming Black Hat security conference.

A Black Hat spokeswoman told Reuters that the talk had been canceled at the request of lawyers for Carnegie-Mellon University, where the speakers work as researchers. A CMU spokesman had no immediate comment."
