I realize this marks me a failure as a hacker and a human being, but JavaScript is not my native tongue and Google Translate doesn't seem to have an option for it. Could someone please post some actual news about...whatever is happening?


Here's my current understanding:

- Freedom Host's founder arrested in Ireland for potential extradition on American child pornography distribution charges.

- Odd Javascript snippets found on sites hosted by Freedom Host. Initial investigations seem to point towards a possible 0-day targeting Firefox.

If the delivered Javascript is a browser-breaker, this strongly suggests someone is collecting the actual identities of the Tor users.
