There was recently a story about a child pornography investigation (FBI) which was abandoned because the FBI had trouble tracking through TOR. A TOR spokesperson was quoted as saying that TOR helped FBI by providing them exploits the the TOR system to utilize, but this was later clarified with the following: "he TOR Project has clarified that it does not in fact instruct law-enforcement agents on how to exploit vulnerabilities in the service"
Can you clarify how TOR does help law enforcement in cases such as this?
