Has anyone heard about the security breach at Iowa State University? It sounds like 5 of the college's servers got hacked for the purpose of generating bitcoins. I've never heard of anything like that being done before...

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Perhaps they had bad security. Lames.
