Hi, when we using Tor network, our data goes thru computers of various people joined into Tor network.
Im curious if my data are safe going thru their computers? Is there any risk of data sniffing or similar?
Update: it appears that the Tor is for anonymity, not privacy. There are multiple claims that the Tor (Entry/Exit, not relay?) nodes can modify traffic/point you to fake phishing website. It is known that Exit nodes can read all sensitive data like passwords logins, credit card data if not sent via HTTPS:// website.
