 If I understood correctly, this chart show individual Tor exit nodes who
 have been spotted doing at least one of the âabuseâ you describe earlier.
 If that's correct, then it's just totally meaningful data. Tor users can
 control which exit node they use. So this could just be a **single** Tor
 user doing a **single** attempt at SQL injection repeatedly over
 **different exit nodes**.

 Please stop framing this as â*Tor traffic is 90% abuse*â. This is not what
 your numbers are telling us.
