Ok, so, that news article is a bit FUDdy, this is a better source:
https://newsoffice.mit.edu/2015/tor-vulnerability-0729
And this seems to be the paper (because the link on the news article is broken, and this pdf doesn't have a date, but all info matches): http://people.csail.mit.edu/devadas/pubs/circuit_finger.pdf
All FUD aside:
If you are a Darknet market operator, skip to section 8 of that article, and apply those appliable measures.
