after anonymously replying to a thread in the mozillazine forums (that is to say, i was not logged in, cookies and javascript disabled also), i found my post to be registered to a user as if it was posted by that user. i was also logged in with this user's credentials and could view their profile, etc.! this was only possible for a short while, after which i suspect the tor circuit was rotated.
can someone explain how this is possible? like i mentioned my own cookies and javascript was disabled, so all i can think of was it had something to do with the exit ip address of the tor circuit i was using during that instant.... quite alarming!
