Other posts covered technical code exploits.

Other risks are trust changes... social engineering
users, cute quizzes to fill out, metadata analysis
that any formerly legit owner wasn't doing,
accounts popping up, etc, etc... typical psych
stuff that traps and users dox themselves.

A lot of that is covered on any of the onion forums,
even some /r/onions and deepdotweb, etc.
