Exit nodes can catch the domain names of sites being accessed. They can snoop the contents which would include passwords if people arent using HTTPS. Even with HTTPS, many people still click away SSL certificate warnings without heeding them, so MITM attacks remain effective (though unethical). Another aspect is that "illegal" isnt the same in every jurisdiction. Then it is a question of estimating what percentage of Tor usage is for bypassing censorship. We dont know what methodologies were used. In other words, it would be most edifying to our curiosity if someone were to anonymously leak the allegedly unethical paper in question. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
