What I doubt is this nonsense about not having to register with a service. You can not magically just find a remote IP address to route your video connection to, without a third party. And THAT is where the attack comes in.
With Skype & Hangouts, you have to register an account and connect through it. With Firefox Hello you only talk to the server to set up a URL for your connection. The actual call is direct peer to peer. You do not have to join anything, but you can if you wish. Everything is over SSL/TLS.
I have Firefox 34.0.5 and I don't see anything that looks like "Hello" or any other communications thing. What am I missing? If I found Hello, and want to speak to my friend, who is 40 miles away, and runs Windows 7 and Mac before OS-X--i.e., a non-Intel machine--what would we have to do? (Assuming he also has ver.34.)
