Hmm, it looks like ToR is not so secure after all as a bunch of governmental users just found out. RichardTime to reveal. http://www.derangedsecurity.com/time-to-reveal%E2%80%A6/ Did you get it? These governments told their users to use ToR, a software that sends all your traffic through not one but three other servers that you know absolutely nothing about. Yes, two are getting encrypted traffic but that last exit node is not. There are hundreds of thousands ToR-users but finding these kinds of accounts was. hmm. chocking! The person who wrote the security policy on these accounts should reconsider changing profession, start cleaning toilets! These administrators are responsible for giving away their own countries secrets to foreigners. I can't call it a mistake, this is pure stupidity and not forgivable!http://tor.eff.org/ Tor: anonymity online Tor is a toolset for a wide range of organizations and people that want to improve their safety and security on the Internet. Using Tor can help you anonymize web browsing and publishing, instant messaging, IRC, SSH, and other applications that use the TCP protocol. Tor also provides a platform on which software developers can build new applications with built-inanonymity, safety, and privacy features.
