That's the definition of if you want security you gotta maintain it. In this case the admin slacked off on his op sec and didn't update to a newer version.

If this isn't a call-to-action in making sure your defences are up to date, I don't know what is.

Kind of disappointed by STRG_F here. They published some bad journalism before, but just 1:1 repeating the claims of the police as a primary source is obviously bad practice. They might have deanonimzed people on the tor network, but they would never actually tell the public how they did it.
