There isn't much to say here. Eric has refused to talk to us in any responsible manner. This article is full of hyperbole, but short on facts. We are in the dark as much as everyone else. According to this article, my poor comprehension of french coupled with google translate, it sounds like they wrote malware to watch the ram in a MS Windows relay and exploit MS Windows weaknesses to read some crypto keys. If true, this sounds like a better exploit on MS Windows than on Tor. Tor has to run inside an operating system, and if that operating system is compromised then everything that runs inside it will be compromised as well. However, once we have some facts and details, we can respond with real answers, not conjecture. -- Andrew pgp key: 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
