Rogue Nodes Turn Tor Anonymizer Into Eavesdropper's Paradise</a><br/>
Swedish computer security consultant Dan Egerstad monitored the traffic going through a Tor exit node
he was running, then published unencrypted account and password information.
Note that the better articles covering this event correctly indicate that this is not a security
flaw or design problem with Tor - Tor provides anonymity, but does not
encrypt anything going to or from an exit node. You <strong>must</strong> use SSL (https) while
browsing to ensure end-to-end encryption.
