The Tor Project says that it has always been transparent about its funding sources and that it has no past or present connection to the CIA. "We make free and open source software that's available for anyone to use—and that includes the CIA," says Stephanie Whited, communications director for the Tor Project.

Read More »The anonymity service Tor has grown in popularity around the world over the past few years, but it has also long been a tool for intelligence agencies and clandestine communications—not to mention endless cat-and-mouse games between law enforcement and criminals. But now, the CIA is staking out a more public presence there. On Tuesday, the CIA announced its own Tor "onion service," so that people around the world can browse the agency's website anonymously—or, you know, send history-altering tips. Tor is an anonymity network that you access through a special browser, like the Tor Browser, and that uses its own URLs. The service protects your IP address and browsing online by encrypting the traffic and bouncing it around a series of waypoints to make it very difficult to trace. Over the years, several organizations have made so-called onion sites—a dedicated version of their website that they configure and host to be accessible through the Tor anonymity network. Also called an onion service, Facebook launched one in 2014, and The New York Times added one in 2017. The National Police of the Netherlands even has an onion service related to its dark-web criminal takedown operations. But the CIA is the first intelligence agency to make the leap. "Our global mission demands that individuals can access us securely from anywhere," CIA director of public affairs Brittany Bramell told WIRED ahead of the launch in a statement. "Creating an onion site is just one of many ways we’re going where people are." Everything from the CIA's main website is available on its onion site, including instructions for how to contact the CIA and a digital form for submitting tips. There are also job listings, the agency's archival material including its World Factbook and, of course, the Kids' Zone. The main reasons to actually access the CIA's site through Tor seem to be sending information to the agency with more robust anonymity protection or quietly applying for a job there. The CIA's site is a Version 3 onion service, meaning it has the improved cryptographic algorithms and stronger authentication the Tor Project launched at the end of 2017. In general, it works the same as Version 2 onion sites except it has a longer address. Instead of something like "nytimes3xbfgragh.onion," you reach the CIA's onion site at "ciadotgov4sjwlzihbbgxnqg3xiyrg7so2r2o3lt5wz5ypk4sxyjstad.onion." Tor was largely created through funding from the United States government in the 1990s and early 2000s, including from the Naval Research Lab and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The anonymity service has been open source since its public release in 2002, and it transitioned to being overseen by a nonprofit, dubbed the Tor Project, in 2006. It can seem confusing at first that the US government would fund the creation of a tool that has since been used by criminals and foreign governments to conduct secret operations. But the US government can benefit from using the anonymity service in the same way these groups do. Still, stories and investigations abound about Tor's origins, including one persistent rumor that the CIA funded Tor's creation through covert channels. The Tor Project says that it has always been transparent about its funding sources and that it has no past or present connection to the CIA.

Read More »However, the IRS works with taxpayers on a one-on-one basis, so one person's tax debt burden could be entirely forgiven, while another person could be asked to pay off their debt in full. That's because the agency only forgives tax debt in situations that warrant it.
In 2021, over half (57%) of American households didn’t pay any federal income taxes. That’s because the IRS determined those families did not need to pay taxes due to their financial situations. That seems fair and just. If you also have a big tax burden, it makes sense to recognize that the IRS will work with you. If you can no longer pay off a big tax burden, then the IRS may offer you some different avenues to pursue. IRS debt forgiveness is one of those options. Learn everything you need to know about this very important tax relief program below.
