FBI attacks Tor

[HavocXphere]

So things just got real in the Tor world.

The FBI managed to put a 0 day exploit on one of the major underground hosting sites, effectively killing the anonymity of anyone using a specific browser setup.

I'd imagine a couple thousand pedos just ka.ked themselves...

EDIT: Yes title somewhat misleading, the attack isn't directly on Tor infrastructure.

Requires java and FF17 on a windows box, I don't qualify

Not that I hang out in places like that but lately Java accounts for 90% of exploits and for that reason I don't have it on my Windows PC.
