<p>Let's say that Bob is using a popular online forum to leak information about a government agency’s unethical behavior. To stay anonymous, he makes sure to connect to the forum using at least Tor to connect there. He uses a burner email address to sign up there, to upload the sensitive files. His Anonymity while doing this sensitive action remains solid.</p> <p>Let’s say that Bob is using a popular online forum to leak information about a government agency’s unethical behavior. To stay anonymous, he makes sure to connect to the forum using Tor at the very minimum. He uses a burner email address to sign up to the forum and upload the sensitive files. His Anonymity during this sensitive action remains intact.</p>

<p>The adversary makes use of the key disclosure legislation to issue search warrants to all 10 people, to get to know the contents of their personal drives. Essentially, they don't have anything solid against Bob, as the anonymity of the perpetrating party is solid, <b>but they are doing some guess work to try and find anything incriminating against him anyway, to make sure.</b> </p> <p>The adversary makes use of the key disclosure legislation to issue search warrants to all 10 people, and to get to know the contents of their personal drives.
