FBI Lied About How it Obtained Silk Road Server Location Says Security Expert

A security expert claims the FBI is lying about how it located the Icelandic server hosting the Silk Road underground drugs bazaar.

When Ross Ulbricht was arrested by the FBI and charged with being the operator of the billion dollar drugs empire known as Silk Road, one of the most intriguing questions for many was just how the law enforcement agency was able to locate the server hosting the website considering it was running on the anonymous Tor network.

Conspiracy theories quickly multiplied with many suggesting the FBI was informed about the server's location by the NSA after the spying agency had cracked the encryption of the anonymity network, which millions rely on daily to communicate securely and avoid being tracked online.
