Remember the Harvard student that emailed in a bomb threat via Tor to get out of a final exam in 2013?
He got caught not by the FBI breaking Tor, but just by network analysis of university network traffic logs showing a very narrow list of on-campus people using Tor at the time the threat was communicated. He quickly confessed when interviewed.

Just another factor to consider when using Tor - who's network you're on.
I recall this situation well as it interrupted an exam of mine. iirc, it was the MAC address of his machine being known/registered to the Campus network that nailed him.
