It does not have to be Mozilla, it could also be any website visited: http://www.securityweek.com/hacker-uses-xss-and-google-streetview-data-determine-physical-location Where Mozilla might be held responsible is because the corresponding bug has had an open ticket for almost 8 years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354493 But perhaps I misunderstood what Sukhoi meant… -- Olivier Cornu -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
