Tor doesn't necessarily help you.

If you're accessing a system a certain way (i.e. accessing certain parts of an application), then your traffic abruptly stops and a Tor exit node IP picks back up, you're hosed.

So you wait an hour. This is a huge company, apparently, so there's got to be other people using the same part of it.

Sure, that works. The point we were trying to make was merely, "Tor is not a magic bullet. It must be used wisely."

Fair point. But the post I responded to was saying to just give up.

Tor may not be enough. To really be safe, use the precautions in http://pastebin.com/cRYvK4jb (this guy hacked finfisher and got away with it, so they know what they're doing.) Mostly whonix, truecrypt, and tor.

(Come to think of it, why hasn't that post been taken down? Is there nothing against pastebin's tos in there? They took down all the sony leaks.)

I would never go back and forth on the same page between tor and clearnet. I assumed that level of caution was obvious, especially to a fellow hacker (we're talking about vulnerability-noticers here, after all.)
