| Windows 10 DRM exposes Tor users Better to stick to Linux If you want to use the Tor browser safely to avoid your local government seeing your doings it is probably not a good idea to use Windows 10. Security experts from Hacker House https://www.myhackerhouse.com/window...vs_torbrowser/ have warned downloading and trying to open Windows DRM-protected files can deanonymize Tor Browser users and reveal their real IP addresses,. DRM-protected multimedia files in Windows have been used by hackers since 2005, but until recently, they've only been used to spread malware. In the good old days the hackers would try to get you to open and playing DRM-protected files.These files would open in the Windows Media Player, and users would see a popup that asked them to visit a URL to validate the file's license. http://fudzilla.com/news/42786-windo...oses-tor-users |
