Flaws could expose users of privacy-protecting software, researchers say
Researchers have found a flaw that could expose the identities of people using a privacy-oriented operating system touted by Edward Snowden, just two days after widely used anonymity service Tor acknowledged a similar problem. The most recent finding concerns a complex, heavily encrypted networking program called the Invisible Internet Project, or I2P. Used to send messages and run websites anonymously, I2P ships along with the specialized operating system "Tails," which former U.S. spy contractor Snowden used to communicate with journalists in secret. Though a core purpose of I2P is to obscure the Internet Protocol addresses of its roughly 30,000 users, anyone who visits a booby-trapped website could have their true address revealed, making it likely that their name could be exposed as well, according to researchers at Exodus Intelligence. "People shouldn't trust something wholeheartedly just because Snowden says," Exodus Vice President Aaron Portnoy told Reuters. "Generally, we … [Read more...] about Flaws could expose users of privacy-protecting software, researchers say

An additional 500 non-regional agricultural products have trademark protection and collective brand names.
