An interesting thought about this is, if they spent this much to break TOR, then TOR must be very strong. In addition, they didn't break TOR. They only were able to find some of the people who use TOR. Now, true, this info could connect users with certain websites. But it still doesn't say what the users were doin there. It only gives the FBI locations to set up their surveillance... at peoples' homes.

Use VPN's on top of TOR.

Use TOR VPNs to mix signals, something like you would use Bitcoin mixers.

The FBI reportedly paid Carnegie Mellon University $1 million to attack Tor

Encryption service Tor was designed to keep its users anonymous, but early last year, it was compromised, handing reams of information about people who used the software to view the "dark web" to an unknown party. Now the non-profit Tor Project that develops and maintains the anonymity software thinks it has its culprit. The group says that Tor was cracked by the FBI, with the help of researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, who were allegedly paid $1 million for their work.
