[tor-talk] safety of exit nodes

[anonymous.coward at posteo.de]

Hi there,

I have a concern regarding exit nodes in Tor. In my mind it is possible 
for an attacker to run a malicious exit server that gathers information 
at the exit point. Of course, this does not compromise anonymity per se, 
but it still can reveal sensitive data to malicious people. I think the 
JonDonym project handles this question better. To run a JonDonym exit 
server you need to be certified. Thus it is much harder to run a 
malicious JonDonym exit server. Why don´t you offer better protection 
against malicious exit servers? I think safety of exit nodes is a 
serious concern.

Thanks
