By Joseph Menn LAS VEGAS (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Defense did not receive personal data on users of Internet privacy service Tor through a government-funded project to detect vulnerabilities, a Defense spokeswoman told Reuters on Tuesday. “This particular project was focused on identifying vulnerabilities in Tor, not to collect data that would reveal personal identities of users,” said Defense Department spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Valerie Henderson, adding that the National Security Agency also did not receive data.
