One statistic missing from the post: what percentage of malicious traffic on the internet actually comes through Tor?
Akamai says[1] that Tor exit nodes were "far more likely to contain malicious requests", but it was still only ~1.26% of the total.
edit: they say the "far more likely to contain malicious requests" statistic is 1:380 for Tor exit node IPs vs. 1:11,500 for non-Tor IPs, but I wonder is that simply a result of more traffic being concentrated to those few exit node IPs?

- hackerfactor 11y agoAt FotoForensics (before I blocked TOR uploads): TOR was about 3% of traffic, but accounted for >50% of porn uploads and about 80% of child porn uploads. Today, TOR is about 1% of overall traffic to the site. (I block uploads, but TOR users can still access and view the site.) However, it accounts for about 20% of network attacks.
