"Even though we do our best to offer you good tools to protect your privacy
while using a computer, there is no magic or perfect solution to such a complex
problem. Understanding well the limits of such tools is a crucial step to,
first, decide whether Tails is the right tool for you, and second, make a good
use of it."
"A global passive adversary would be a person or an entity able to monitor at
the same time the traffic between all the computers in a network. By studying,
for example, the timing and volume patterns of the different communications
across the network, it would be statistically possible to identify Tor circuits
and thus match Tor users and destination servers."
"It is usually not advisable to use the same Tails session to perform two tasks
or endorse two contextual identities that you really want to keep separate from
one another. For example hiding your location to check your email and
anonymously publishing a document.
First, because Tor tends to reuse the same circuits, for example, within the
same browsing session. Since the exit node of a circuit knows both the
destination server (and possibly the content of the communication if it's not
encrypted) and the address of the previous relay it received the communication
from, it makes it easier to correlate several browsing requests as part of a
same circuit and possibly made by the same user. If you are facing a global
adversary as described above, it might then also be in a position to do this
correlation.
Second, in case of a security hole or an error in using Tails or one of its
applications, information about your session could be leaked. That could reveal
that the same person was behind the various actions made during the session."
Résumé
The user can not simply use a distro to be secure, the user still needs to
learn how to use the distro.
