A single hacker controls 23% of the Tor Network's nodes and is using that power to steal cryptocurrencies, according to post released by a cybersecurity analyst going by the username nusenu.
Tor Network, also called by some "the dark net," provides anonymous internet access by running relays to hide users' IP addresses. Users go through the exit relay before accessing their desired site.
Nusenu's report claims that one major exit relay provider is using their position to access users' information. The main scam they have been running involves Bitcoin mixers, services used to hide the origins of Bitcoin. The hacker is replacing wallet addresses so that the mixer returns clean funds to them instead of the mixer user.
