Cover Your Online Tracks With Hacktivismo

Just came across an interesting article on Smartbro's Ups And Down about a new "Firefox-based" browser which allows for anonymous webs surfing. Apparently it has no installation which means that it can be used from a USB drive. According to a press release:

Hacktivismo, an international group of computer security experts and human rights workers, just released Torpark, an anonymous, fully portable Web browser based on Mozilla Firefox. Torpark comes pre-configured, requires no installation, can run off a USB memory stick, and leaves no tracks behind in the browser or computer. Torpark is a highly modified variant of Portable Firefox, that uses the TOR (The Onion Router) network to anonymize the connection between the user and the website that is being visited.

As Smartbro says:

When you use Torpark, it will show different ip address every a few minutes to the website your visiting. For example if you are in London, Torpark will show the website that your in Australia and a few minutes it will show that you are in China.

Just think of the implications this could have on accurate stats reporting for websites amongst other things.
