> Tor exit nodes have been caught injecting malware into binaries downloaded over HTTP through them

It's more accurate to say bad actors have been injecting malware into HTTP-downloaded binaries. Some of these bad actors use Tor exit nodes, some use free WiFi hotspots, and some run their own VPN services. Framing this as a Tor problem is like blaming violence on weapons instead of the perpetrators.
