The FBI complained on Hacking Team’s customer website that the company’s “URL collector does not collect web traffic on TOR browser,” and suggested how to fix it:
download TOR browser bundle. Surf web through TOR browser. Infect the target with an agent with www collector enabled. WWW traffic is not collect when target surfs through TOR browser.
[...]
Less than two weeks later they told [the FBI] that [their] requested feature was in the works: “Dear Client, next RCS [Remote Control System] release (8.2.0) will capture URL from the TOR browser. Thank you.”
PS: interesting disclosure in the article:
(Disclosure: The Tor Project, which helps develop Tor and Tor Browser, has received money from the Freedom of the Press Foundation, where I sit on the board. It has also received money from the Omidyar Foundation, co-founded by Pierre Omidyar, who funds The Intercept‘s parent company First Look Media.)
