Gotta make really sure that the files are legit when using Tor.

[@keres993]

Tor is great but the potential for man in the middle attacks is seemingly much greater than with regular HTTPS. I'm unconvinced it provides the assumed level of anonymity and security. That said, it's still a very impressive free service with a lot of utility. I'm excited for the project's future.

[@htomerif]

@@keres993 What makes you think TLS is insecure? Why are you unconvinced? What have you done to rectify your level of understanding? Tor has zero potential for MITM attacks unless you're already sending plaintext over it in which case you've got bigger problems than Tor. Tor is not an encryption service. Its an anonymization service.

The problem with phoning home is just about every antivirus program would detect it and it might show a firewall warning. This is much easier to get away with.

If there exist variants of the clipper malware that modify the HTML content of a site, then I can easily see this used for spoofing the public SHA or MD5 hashes of files for verifying their integrity

[@gooniesfan7911]

they could have easily taken the tor source code and modified the browser code to look for crypto addresses on sites and swapped them out so that they sent it to poisoned addresses from the get go. amateur attackers

[@reed6514]

I don't think that monero will be on second place. Russian, ukranian and belarusian markets use predominantly bitcoin and not monero. Lots of them still using fiat.

[@mysteryY2K]

fiat really? is this because they use dead drops instead of postal?

[@drastically143]

​@@mysteryY2K No. In eastern europe, baltics and balkans it's ridiculously easy to buy sudo anonymous (registered to another peoples id's) bank accounts and debit cards. So you just accept normal bank payments for a while and then just buy a new pack of accounts. And if you asking what are they doing after, you got two main paths: with cashing* or buying shittiercrypto and going with mixers path or buying monero, but monero is still unpopular. Also work of a drop for anything in this regions was also cheap. And they also have a shitton of p2p exchanges which utilizes the fact that a lot of countries in the region hates each other, so they would not exchange information between countries through police and things like that. Or will be very slow to do that.

@@Known_as_The_Ghost I thought your real IP is hidden on Tor. EDIT: I did a little searching and found the Tor entry guard can see your real IP.

There are web-browsing features that may leak IP, like WebRTC leaks, JavaScript or the content of the person's very activity in Tor - he might be visting his personal account that was logged in a lot in some other place.

Tor is the network. What you mean by "Hacked tor" is the Tor browser. Not Tor itself.

[@Yadobler]

Using VPN to watch KZbin is not unheard of, and was common among the youths in China, especially in the early 2010s. Like using it to use Facebook too. But Tor, that's still very niche. So the average vpn-serving yt watcher had just enough knowledge to bypass and dabble in shady sites, but not full knowledge to avoid baits and use the proper search engines to find the legitamate link. This is similar to those small town church having volunteers who know enough HTML to Code a Homepage for the church, but no knowledge of Web security to sanitise inputs or protect against ddos or hacking attempts on vulnerable servers. Quite sad. But it is the state of half-baked knowledge access and gatekeeping of knowledge that results in not just not knowing best, but not even knowing that there are things that needs to be known (ie security)

I always wonder how such stupid users can have so much money.

[@Aeduo]

It's many individual users. But it's less about being stupid and more just being unaware of all the possible scams. If people as a whole got more aware, the scams would get more intelligent, but it's unreasonable for everyone or most people to have awareness of such things by themselves. Not everyone is a computer tech, nor interested in it, and most will have other responsibilities they're focused on.
