Spying On Tor

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the shocked-and-apalled-and-totally-not-surprised dept.

juct writes "The long-standing suspicion that the anonymizing network TOR is abused to catch sensitive data by Chinese, Russian, and American government agencies as well as hacking groups gets new support. Members of the Teamfurry community found TOR exit-nodes which only forward unencrypted versions of certain protocols. These peculiar configurations invite speculation as to why they are set up in this way. Another tor exit node has been caught doing MITM attacks using fake SSL certificates."

    We're the MotherF'ing United States of America. We've sued people who sang poorly in church, we sued Saudi Arabia because of 9/11, we sued a fast food chain because their damn coffee was hot. Did we win all of them? No, but it doesn't keep the US from doing it.
