Once I read about the recent BGP exploit (
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/revealed-the-in.html ) - which
has the potential to re-route the traffic of millions of users - I had a
question, from a theoretical standpoint:
If such siphoning drew in traffic passing in between Tor nodes, would
this have an effect on reducing anonymity for the users having their
traffic relayed by these nodes? If so, how?

Note 2008/08/19: I lost my old GPG keypair, and have generated a new
one. Authenticity can be verified by checking the ContactInfo on kitsune.
