On a linux machine I ran lsof -i while running tor just cuz; and I saw this plaintext URL that tor connected to, It persists even after i restart it or change identity, it is probably harmless but still is there some kind of event going on?

tor.defcon.org is considered a guard node, and your browser likely chose to prefer that one to bootstrap itself.

Think of your fed as a guardian angel. That works for the government. And no intentions to guard you. Or any good intentions at all.
