	"description": "<p class=\"mb-3\">Tor is designed to defend human rights and privacy by preventing anyone from censoring things, even us. We hate that there are some people who use Tor to do terrible things, but we can't do anything to get rid of them without also undermining the human rights activists, journalists, abuse survivors, and other people who use Tor for good things. If we wanted to block certain people from using Tor, we'd basically be adding a backdoor to the software, which would open up our vulnerable users to attacks from bad regimes and other adversaries.</p>"

The malware authors are asking you to download Tor Browser presumably to contact them anonymously with the ransom they're demanding from you. If this is your first introduction to Tor Browser, we understand that you might think we're bad people who enable even worse people. But please consider that our software is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by ​human rights activists, journalists, domestic violence survivors, whistleblowers, law enforcement officers, and many others. Unfortunately, the protection that our software can provide to these groups of people can also be abused by criminals and malware authors.

Also, using paths longer than 3 could harm anonymity, first because it makes<mark><a href=\"https://www.freehaven.net/anonbib/#ccs07-doa\">denial of security</a></mark> ttacks easier, and second because it could act as an identifier if only a small number of users have the same path length as you.</p>"
