Why wouldn't tor be compromised?
I would assume that because it is a popular open source software relied upon by millions that it theoretically shouldn't?
It's just that if I were the FBI, or the CIA, or a large criminal organisation, why wouldn't I be putting a lot of money and the best people I could find on sneaking backdoors for tor into the onion somehow. What a treasure trove of the most potent information there is there! If you can crack tor, you own the keys to the underworld and enough blackmail fodder to get you almost anything you want.
