Countries that have less-than-stellar records when it comes to dissenting voices must really, really hate Tor. Coincidentally, Russia’s Interior Ministry has put out a bounty of around $110,000 to groups who can crack the US Navy-designed privacy network. After the country’s vicious crackdown on dissenting voices back in 2012, protestors who hadn’t escaped or been jailed began using anonymous internet communication as their first line of defense against the Kremlin. If you’re considering taking part in the challenge (and earning yourself a tidy stack of cash to quell your conscious), be warned — the bounty is only open to organizations that already have security clearance to work for the Russian government.
