Tor (anonymity network) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In August 2013, it was discovered that the Firefox browsers in many older versions of the Tor Browser Bundle were vulnerable to a JavaScript attack, which was being exploited to send user's IP address and Windows computer name to the attackers. News reports linked this to an FBI operation targeting Freedom Hosting's owner, Eric Eoin Marques. He was arrested on a provisional extradition warrant issued by a US court on July 29. The FBI is seeking to extradite Marques to Maryland on four charges: distributing, conspiring to distribute and advertising child pornography - as well as aiding and abetting advertising of child pornography. The warrant alleges that Marques is "the largest facilitator of child porn on the planet."^[42][43]
