Attackers Hijacked Over 300 Tor Exit Relays to Intercept SSH Connections

Attackers hijacked over 300 Tor exit relays in early October, redirecting SSH connections to servers that stole login passwords, a researcher found. The interception affected password-based SSH logins made through Tor between October 1 and 5. Exit relays are the final hop where traffic leaves the Tor network, making them a prime target for such attacks.
