“The Canadian firm yanked its Web browser earlier this month
after it evidently tried to cover up a problem with the service
that exposed users’ identifying information…”
“Goldberg, chief scientist for PrivacyX competitor Zero
Knowledge Systems, built a demonstration page to show that the
software could reveal a user’s IP address.”
“PrivacyX responded that it had fixed the problem. But Goldberg
shot back that the firm had not fixed it at all, but simply tweaked
its software to foil his demonstration instead…”
“With an apparent snub at Goldberg, the company on Tuesday
invited cryptographers to bring the browser back under an
as-yet-unspecified open source license.“
