SafeWeb's anonymous-surfing technology turns out not to be very safe after all.
Hi all..
I personaly never heard of safeweb.. but I read the article and laughed my eyes out..

Founded in April 2000, SafeWeb marketed an advertising-supported service said to allow users to browse the Web anonymously. In interviews, SafeWeb CEO Jon Chun boasted that the technology had been "through the rigors of the CIA's stringent review process, which far exceeds those of the ordinary enterprise client."
I would never trust the CIA to keep my surfing anonymous...
They say, and SafeWeb has acknowledged, that flaws in the company's architecture allow a website to use JavaScript to obtain the concealed Internet address of the visitor. Because of SafeWeb's centralized technology, that page can also download a browser's cookies and obtain copies of subsequent Web pages visited during that session.
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
When in Russia, pet a PETSCII.
