You'd think he'd have been smart enough to work in Linux, and run Tor in a gateway device with iptables rules to block leaks. I vaguely remember a security guide from Freedom Hosting which recommended that approach for servers. So why wouldn't he have done the same locally? And seriously, Whonix existed in 2013!
As much as I despise child porn, there was lots of good stuff on Freedom Hosting. Sad.

And the exploit was using JS, so, like Wikipedia mentions, using NoScript would have prevented the attack.
