... After identifying an individual Tor user on the internet, the NSA uses its network of secret internet servers to redirect those users to another set of secret internet servers, with the codename FoxAcid, to infect the user's computer. FoxAcid is an NSA system designed to act as a matchmaker between potential targets and attacks developed by the NSA, giving the agency opportunity to launch prepared attacks against their systems. Once the computer is successfully attacked, it secretly calls back to a FoxAcid server, which then performs additional attacks on the target computer to ensure that it remains compromised long-term, and continues to provide eavesdropping information back to the NSA. Bruce Schneier is now publishing directly from the Snowden leaks. |

This only applies to the retards who kept java script enabled, after they are warned 1000 times to disable java script. Kind of old news in all honesty. Didn't read the article, did you? Yeah, I did.
