'A small handful of alleged Playpen users have successfully challenged the single warrant used to deploy the NIT against them. '

'As Vice Motherboard first reported in March 2016, Browning was first identified by a foreign law enforcement agency, as part of an investigation into yet another child porn website. '

'While doing so, the FBI deployed a “network investigative technique,” or NIT, which many researchers have described as malware, to force the user’s Tor browser to cough up a true IP address. '
