[tor-talk] misleading advice in Ars Technica article about patched binaries

[wyory <wyory@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tor friends:

AN article on Ars Technica about the malicious exit nodes contains some
misleading advice attributed to "Tor officials."

From end of article: "Tor officials have long counseled people to employ
a VPN when using the privacy service, and OnionDuke provides a strong
cautionary tale when users fail to heed that advice."

http://arstechnica.com/security/2014/11/for-a-year-one-rogue-tor-node-added-malware-to-windows-executables/

Maybe the article was supposed to read "HTTPS" instead of "VPN". Or,
"verify binaries" instead of "employ a VPN."

Could a real "Tor official" contact the author and ask for a correction?

Thank you.
