Submission + - Ask Slashdot: Identity Invisibility or Camouflage? (blogspot.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Tor may have been compromised. Even savvy companies like Adobe suffer losses of client lists from time to time. The "incognito windows" and "anonymizers" just seem to attract attention, or offer fake comfort. What I have always wondered is why we pursue invisibility when Nature always opts for camouflage. If my browser runs fake and randomized web searches while I'm away, doesn't that provide security? If enough fake USB drives full of bogus and random phone-book info are dropped around the city, won't my USB drive be safer? Is my Pentium 1 30g hard drive safer tagged for erasure, or hidden in a pile of scrap metal with 10,000 other PCs?
Whatever happened to Anti-Phorm? Seems like it was on the right track. Cookie camouflage, digital haystacks.
