Hrm, in 2007 people were able to intercept traffic from Tor quite easily by using a packet sniffer on an exit node. It looks like wikileaks got information through an implementation of this hack possibly?

- ZachPruckowski 16y agoIntercepting TOR traffic is trivial, it's not really a hack. They could have just run a TOR exit node of their own, and seen what came through unencrypted. The point of TOR is not to keep the traffic private (you use end-to-end encryption for that), it's to obscure the sender.
