Even Tails isn't secure.

NEITHER IS PROTONMAIL!

>ip address
nothingburger

>>106202101 (OP)
The guy got arrested in 2017, why are you acting like its recent?

>>106202879
If ip address is a "nothingburger" to you why do you need Tor in the first place?

>>106203755
anybody who isn't completely retarded is using vpn/proxy/tor. it's nothing.

>>106204442
the 0day leaked his real IP aka not the exit node, retard.

>>106204496
he should've used public wifi

>>106204442
Are you retarded, anon? The guy in OP's article from 8 years ago was using Tor. Facebook and the FBI cooperated to exploit a vulnerability that was in the secure distro's video player to leak the culprit's real IP address despite everything being sandboxed to only use Tor. It was a very impressive security feat, but completely irrelevant to 2025 considering how long ago that was. The fact that no such thing has happened since implies the distro is properly secure (though pointless for daily use because it's live session only).

>>106202127
Why do you retards always pretend to be offended when this happens? Protonmail has always said that they comply with legal requests and hand over all the data they can.

This is so pathetic you should actually kill yourself.

yeah PEBCAK

>child predator sting
So they destroy computer security for generations in the name of capturing the pedos refuse to build up computer security, all while simultaneously dedicating hundreds of FBI agents in 24 hour round the clock work force to redact the Epstein files, all to participate in a coverup to protect pedos.

I don't understand. Do FBI hate pedos or love them??

>2025
>/g/ still finds ways to actively defend why pedophiles should have privacy

>>106204699
Epstein did nothing wrong.

>>106204699
>yeah mr facebook there's this pedophile, you need to help us adding a backdoor to this OS... because you wouldn't defend a pedophile, right?

>>106204699
Can't really take this seriously when they're actively defending pedophiles at the highest level of government. This isn't even some schizo conspiracy theory anymore, it's all but confirmed.

>>106204724
>facebook
>having anything to do with Tails
Retard. The exploit was always there, they simply took advantage of it and didn't report it. Did you even read the article?

>>106204661
the purpose of tails is to run everything through tor, its not "pebcak" if it fails to do so. stop using terms you don't understand.

We should let the government install drilled-in brain chips into all adults it's the only way to stop the bad guys.

>>106204742
>Did you even read the article?
what article? that's a screenshot
I assume they added the exploit and backdoor themselves

>>106204782
>what article? that's a screenshot
>I assume
nta but, seriously now... get a fucking brain, retard

>>106204683
It's like every type of criminal, it depends on your net worth. What's illegal for poor people is sport for rich people.

>Facebook had tasked a dedicated employee to unmasking Hernandez, developed an automated system to flag recently created accounts that messaged minors, and made catching Hernandez a priority for its security teams, according to Vice. They also paid a third party contractor “six figures” to help develop a zero-day exploit in Tails: a bug in its video player that enabled them to retrieve the real I.P. address of a person viewing a clip.
>There’s no clear evidence as to whether the FBI knew the exploit was developed in part by Facebook, leading one to wonder how forthcoming it was planning to be about its involvement. There are also obvious ethical issues with developing exploits in another company’s product, especially Tails, which was designed with the security of users including reporters, whistleblowers, stalking victims, and political activists in mind.

ok read it, it's as I said, facebook developed the exploit
retard

>>106204530
FBI got a OPSEC talk
> Don't tell public that FBI uses exploits.
> Don't tell public about FBI partners.
> Don't tell the public about FBI practices and methodology.
> Like the army, don't ask don't tell.

>>106204916
I don't understand how they hired a contractor to develop an exploit in someone else's product. Someone explain.

>>106204961
There's a bunch of exploit development companies that do this shit for money. It's pretty simple; you pay them and they look for exploits. Most of them are israeli based.

>>106204979
Oh, is that how the terminology works? I thought exploits were defects in the product that allow people to get in, not something people do to get in.

>>106204916
So was this ever fixed?

>>106204916
>ok, I read it now
>>They also paid a third party contractor “six figures” to help develop a zero-day exploit in Tails
>YOU ARE THE RETARD!!1
ok retard

>>106205064
also from that article
>long industry tradition of disclosure
literally no one has any obligation to inform anyone about vulns and exploits. "responsible disclosure" is a self-imposed obligation by whitehats.

>>106205016
>I thought exploits were defects in the product that allow people to get in
that's a security vulnerability

>something people do to get in.
that's an exploit

>>106205375
Surely the devs of the distro that's built around privacy would want to disclose it?

>>106202101 (OP)
>violating security industry norms
the norms are basically pro-corporation bullshit where corps bullied people into "pls don't post about our shit being exploitable on the internet before we fix it or it's gonna be bad for our profits :((("
fuck the disclosure bullshit

>>106204530
>PEBCAK
what was the exploit? how did a video reveal info about someone using a vm?

cve or it didn't happen

>>106204530
>>106204496
i wasnt talking about the op pic, retards. read the reply chain

>>106202101 (OP)
somehow find it very unlikely they would go through all this trouble to get a child predator.

is this another case of fucking over the general populace by claiming it's to save the children or kill the terrorists?
