Stronger together: What we've accomplished since the Tails-Tor merger
Nine months ago @nprofile…7e80 and @nprofile…5mmt set out to unite forces for Internet Freedom. The goal was to integrate Tails into the organizational structure of the Tor Project to pool resources instead of duplicating them, and deliver a more robust shield against censorship and surveillance. Today we're happy to report that we're already seeing the transformative impact of our united efforts.

Security audit of automatic upgrades and recent changes
conclusion:
...strong security impression, addressing most anonymity-related concerns. We did not find any remote code execution vulnerabilities, and all identified issues required a compromised low-privileged amnesia user – the default user in Tails.
Looking back at the previous audit, we can see the #Tails developers have made significant progress, demonstrating expertise and a serious commitment to security.
