So in recent drama: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=843228.0

Concerning malicious tor nodes which will be able to get your password & personal details do you think it's safe to use tor on a online wallet? What precautions can be used?


I did access my wallet (hot wallet) via tor before I heard this news & have now moved my Bitcoin to another hot wallet.

Don't use them to access any accounts from now on....I guess accounts such as reddit won't make much difference but emails & btc wallet might.

It's possible and that's a very well known fact for Tor users.
