[UFO Chicago] Article: Stop using Windows, Disable JavaScript

[Neil Ormos H]

This incident was widely published a week or so
ago.

I especially love the admonition in the headlines
of the articles syndicated by IDG News Service--a
great step forward in securing one's personal
computing environment, whether or not one uses
TOR.

|> Stop using Windows, Disable JavaScript

|> The TOR Project is advising that people stop using
|> Windows after the discovery of a startling
|> vulnerability in Firefox that undermined the main
|> advantages of the privacy-centered network.

|> "Really, switching away from Windows is probably a
|> good security move for many reasons," according to
|> a security advisory posted Monday by The TOR
|> Project.
