[Crypto-chi] 3% Tor nodes - rogue!

[joe fuentes]

hi folks
According to this report from security firm Sophos at least 3% of Tor nodes are rogu (untrustworth) e. For the newbies out there (I'm still one sort of) TOR is The Onion Router network which allows you to cruise the Dark Web anonymously using special browser software. This is important for political activists, journalists in suppressive regimes and unfortunately it's also used for some devious purposes.  Well according to some researchers at Northeastern U in Boston did some research and discovered there are some rogue nodes that can unmask your anonymity. Wot that means in practical terms is not even Tor is 100% safe - use other security measures.  For more details take a look at this interesting article. 
Thoughts?
