3 recommendations | NSA using Firefox flaw to snoop on Tor usersgood news ..bad news... 
An NSA presentation released by Edward Snowden contains mixed news for Tor users. The anonymizing service itself appears to have foxed US and UK government snoops, but instead they are using a zero-day flaw in the Firefox browser bundled with Tor to track users.
"These documents give Tor a huge pat on the back," security guru Bruce Schneier told The Register. "If I was a Tor developer, I'd be really smiling after reading this stuff."

| Re: NSA using Firefox flaw to snoop on Tor users Looks like the same vulnerability that they used in that malware attack 2 months ago. »Feds Are Suspects in New Malware That Attacks Tor Anonymity

The flaw still exists?
Considering FF is on version 24 now, one has to suspect if Mozilla is in on this.

| Huh? That flaw in v17 was patched and included in the TOR bundle a full month before the Feds started exploiting it. It's not Mozilla's fault people don't keep their software up to date.
