New Release: Tor Browser 15.0.5

Tor Browser 15.0.5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.

Vietnamese Text Vandalism

A few days ago, one of our community members reported that some of the Vietnamese text translations in Tor Browser Android had been vandalised by a malicious contributor. Unfortunately, this mis-translated text ended up shipping in Tor Browser 15.0.4. These changes did not affect the browser's functionality or security properties in any way.

In addition to shipping an unscheduled release to fix this problem, we are also reviewing the processes around accepting translation updates so that something like this does not again make it into Tor Browser Stable. Our goal is to keep community contributions open and welcome, while adding safeguards where needed.

Finally, we want to thank our community of volunteer translators and in particular user SweetSea for reporting this issue to our localisation developer channel (#tor-l10n). If you would like to help improve translations and join the community, please consider becoming a Tor translator!
