Not so anonymous after all

Now i used to think that in Tor (The onion router) network, any server could act as either immediatary or exit nodes. But according to this exciting article, it's apparantly not the case. Even more interestingly, those exit nodes are being operated by the goverment (and hacker groups) to spy on un-encrypted traffic.

Blame it on the design of Tor, on the user's negelence (or ignorance) if you're willing to take it to a more abstract level. But the striking fact remains that there's *well-*organised group of people out there that could do anything to take our last bits of privacy away.
