> One of the most well known examples was when the FBI used a FireFox 0-day to target and eventually dismantle a child pornography ring. Funny... that's when they took down Freedom Hosting right? If I recall correctly, they didn't use a 0-day, they targeted a vulnerability that had been patched in the regular tor browser so only people using an outdated version of the browser were hit by it. Plus, calling Freedom Hosting a "child pornography ring" isn't representing accurately what it was. Sure, their was child porn hosted there. Maybe even most of what was hosted there was child porn, I don't know... but that was a web host. There was no encouragements from Freedom Hosting to host cp there (apart from not doing anything to prevent it). Plus, apart from busting the guy responsible for FH, I'm not sure they got anyone of interest with this operation... at least, I haven't heard of it and I'm sure they wouldn't have been too shy to brag about it if they had made any high-profile cp bust from this. |
