This applies as well to people who run Tor hidden services that are doorkicker bait (like drug cryptomarkets).
It should be impossible for a compromised browser or hidden service server or Tor process to know anything about your hardware or MAC address, your internal IP address (the RFC1918 one), or your globally routable IP address.
also yeah the Feeb loves to exploit browsers (especially firefox :^) and make them execute the NIT (which just sends, unencrypted/unauthenticated data of the MAC address, ethernet interface's IP addresses, username, and stuff like that, to a computer run by the FBI)
once one of their exploits got leaked, it was pretty fucking lulzy
