<td> <a href="http://www.wired.com/politics/security/news/2007/09/embassy_hacks"> 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.
