So i fired up my computer and turned on tor and a screen came up to click this link to dowload Tor 5.5.3 so i went to the tor website and there was no update. Am i being singled out here or is this common? ( No i did not click the link it had scripts turned on and no way to turn them off that's what really caught my eye. Mirimir what do u think.
OK, so you started Tor browser, and saw a notice to get v5.5.3. And you say that "it had scripts turned on". How did you know that? Was this a browser pop-up? I suppose that it could be malware. But Tor browser v5.5.2 was just released on Friday: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-552-released It seems unlikely that malware faking a v5.5.3 update would be out so soon. Have you installed any add-ons in Tor browser?
I turned tor on and it was a dif page with a link to follow to update to 5.5.3 and i noticed the scripts were turned on so i tried shutting them off NOPE. So i turned tor off restarted it and it was back to 5.5.2
I have tor set to auto update and ity did not auto update i usually use whonix but if i am in a hurry i will use the tor browser. Mirimir could this be an attack towards me?
I knew there was just an update and then all this happened do u think my computer could be tampered with i have FDE Luks, Nobody has my passwords i have a security system with cameras and i installed my own cameras so it would be hard to get to my computer.
Ask about it on https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-552-released Maybe some Tor admin misconfigured something, typing "5.5.3" instead of "5.5.2". And maybe you just happened to start Tor browser before they corrected the error. Are you sure that the window said "5.5.3" and not "5.5.2"? At this point, your options are (1) nuking Tor browser and doing a fresh install, or (2) doing a fresh OS install. The second option is almost certainly overkill. This sort of situation is why it's best to limit activity on the host OS to updating and managing VMs.
There is no http://torproject.com/ -- or if there is, run away, quickly But I do see that http://torproject.com/ redirects to http://torproject.com/ I never tried that before.
Yes earlier I went to ".com" and it was the exact same as ".org" Luckily I remembered it's .org and left. It kind of tripped me out!
It is the same site. It's just a redirect.
