[tor-talk] fwd: FBI Is Pushing Back Against Judge's Order to Reveal Tor Browser Exploit

[krishna e bera <keb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"In February 2015, the FBI seized a dark web child pornography site and
ran it from their own servers for 13 days. During this time, the agency
deployed a NIT against people who visited specific, child pornography
threads, which grabbed their real IP address, among other technical
details."

Do we know what that exploit might have been?
Of course lots of bugs have been fixed in upstream Firefox since last
year, so it wasnt necessarily a TorBrowser specific bug.  Indeed, from
online discussions, it seems many people are using kludged setups such
as stock browsers with proxy and standalone Tor.
