Love this. Very much agree with this thinking
Tor insists its #network is safe after German cops convict CSAM dark-web admin
Kind of boils down to opsec fail here. Using outdated software, which in this case didn’t properly secure Tor connections.
Timing attacks are still viable (especially with hostile nodes), but this reads as an #opsec fail to me.
Remember: a major part of anonymity is maintaining great opsec.
Obligatory: Tor is not “just for criminals,” despite one getting caught in this case (glad he did tbh). Regular people use Tor everyday.

Tor insists its network is safe after German cops convict CSAM dark-web admin
Outdated software blamed for cracks in the armorIain Thomson (The Register)
In opsec, duress (“rubber-hose”) attacks are famously hard to address. Cryptographic keys that cannot be lost have poor protections against duress.
Travelers can leave key fobs at home should they be accosted. A victim of a break-in can conveniently “lose” or smash a hardware key, erasing any encrypted data. Yes, I know about cold-boot attacks; I don’t recommend at-risk people to leave things decrypted for long durations. I like the idea of spring-loaded key fobs that can’t be left plugged in.
People talking about key fob body implants don’t usually plan for removing them in seconds with plausible deniability.
