[tor-talk] Bad Exit Nodes.

[tor at t-3.net]

You must assume that some of this is happening anyway, because we know 
that certain intelligence agencies (+ who knows who else) can gain 
backdoor access to the usual gear that sits upstream of the exit nodes 
(IE: the routers and switches of certain major hardware 
manufacturers). The traffic can be stolen there, and redirected 
elsewhere for examination.

Anything going out in plaintext had best not be particularly 
de-anonymizing or useful to someone who is sniffing (such as logins 
would be), let's just say that.
