Tor Users Targeted With Firefox Zero-Day Exploit

Since we had a brief discussion about TOR last class I thought this article was interesting. It talks about a Zero-Day exploit that propagated on the TOR network. It took advantage of a FireFox exploit and was very similar to one that the FBI has used in the past. Unfortunately these are older vulnerabilities that have still not been patched up. But the point is that TOR is a probably not ideal for people seeking privacy or secure web browsing.
