This is actually a pretty good attack. The only problem I see is the usefulness of the evidence that the attack gathers. Visiting an FBI warning over Tor isn't illegal, so appearing in some child-porn-user database because you were curious about how the exploit worked is a little disturbing, given the stigma child porn has.
I'd also like to see the legal theory they used to seize control of someone's computer. Did a judge sign off on this attack strategy?
But ultimately, I think they used some pretty good software engineering to solve a problem they wanted to solve.
