Tor has been described by The Economist, in relation to Bitcoin and Silk Road, as being "a dark corner of the web".[31] It has been targeted by the American National Security Agency and the British GCHQ signals intelligence agencies, albeit with marginal success,[27] and more successfully by the British National Crime Agency in its Operation Notarise.[32] At the same time, GCHQ has been using a tool named "Shadowcat" for "end-to-end encrypted access to VPS over SSH using the Tor network".[33][34] Tor can be used for anonymous defamation, unauthorized news leaks of sensitive information, copyright infringement, distribution of illegal sexual content,[35][36][37] selling controlled substances,[38] weapons, and stolen credit card numbers,[39] money laundering,[40] bank fraud,[41] credit card fraud, identity theft and the exchange of counterfeit currency;[42] the black market utilizes the Tor infrastructure, at least in part, in conjunction with Bitcoin.[25] It has also been used to brick IoT devices.[43]
