A non-public report from the US Treasury Department found that a majority of bank account takeovers by cyber criminals exploit the anonymizing Tor network. The report examined 6,048 suspicious activity reports (SARs) filed by financial organizations between August 2001 and July 2014. Identity Theft (44 percent) and Money Laundering (35 percent) are the predominant types of suspicious activity in Tor-related SARs. The most concerning aspect of the report is the rapid rise in the number of SAR filings involving bank fraud tied to Tor nodes.”]
