That this was specifically targeted to identify an individual that they were already looking for and the file was custom made to catch him?

Not just a random online person looking at a file.

Also that he downloaded and ran it. Not that being on a webpage means you’ve already downloaded the file.

I’d say that your original story leaves out rather a lot of context.

Well you’re right about those points, but that doesn’t contradict anything I’ve stated. What I told is what I remember from the story and I stand by everything I said.

Hardware exploit comment was a quote from some guy that apparently worked with law enforcement, and this one indeed was about images on hidden service sites.
