Tor Project: Fake Tor App Has Been In Apple's App Store For Months
itwbennett (1594911) writes "For the past several months Tor developers have unsuccessfully been trying to convince Apple to remove from its iOS App Store what they believe to be a fake and potentially malicious Tor Browser application. According to subsequent messages on the bug tracker, a complaint was filed with Apple on Dec. 26 with Apple reportedly responding on Jan. 3 saying it would give a chance to the app's developer to defend it. More than two months later, the Tor Browser app created by a developer named Ronen is available still in the App Store. The issue came into the public spotlight Wednesday when people involved in the Tor Project took to Twitter to make their concerns heard. Apple did not respond to IDG News Service's request for comment."
Yep. That's why they get all the viruses.
the fact you think security of an OS and virus infection rate is related is a sad indictment of your security knowledge. Virus's/malware target user stupidity and the highest volume targets. This is why you see the infection rates of Android and OS.X significantly climbing over the last year or two as their popularity increases while at the same time the infection rate has decreased on windows.
Please put an NSFW warning. Some of us browse /. on the clock.
Here is a startling idea: Why don't you work? Lots of people would be glad to just have a job, you're just sitting around holding your dick when you should be working.
Another idea is to not use your employer's computing resources for frivolity. Get your own damned computer. Many of us have mobile devices capable of slashdotting. You shouldn't be trying to write long, reasoned comments while you're at work, anyway.
More proof that hard work is a poor predictor of success
