1. The user has set up the subversion source trees based on the *current 
advice* here for anonymous checkout: 
https://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer

> % svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/ports/head /usr/ports

2. The user heard that Tor improves his anonymity, and decided to use it.

3. The user updated the sources through Tor and got hacked.

Where did this user go wrong, or where has he been irresponsible?


The fact that this page https://wiki.freebsd.org/PortsSubversionPrimer still recommends http is appalling!
