I saw this headline and immediately thought, "that's much too low."

But I've got no idea how much that vulnerability would actually go for. Millions? Tens of millions? Anyone with a stronger understanding of the market have any rough estimate?



I'm like you, I'm not sure how to assign a dollar value to this vulnerability. The implications of a broken TOR are huge for all players, especially over time. Considering TOR protects the livelihood (and lives even) of so many people who employ it, it doesn't seem unreasonable to put the ticket price up in the tens of millions to me. TOR's mission-critical for the work of a lot of folks, shady-dealings or no.
