Hi,
Yesterday, when I was using Tor Messenger, I detected that Off-the-Record
Messaging fingerprints are not matching!
There seems to be a man-in-the-middle attack. The attacker probably is an
exit node.
I was comparing public key fingerprints through a secure outside channel.
Is there a way to see the exit node that Tor messenger is currently using?
I need this info to test the exit node and report it to Tor Project if it
seems to perform this man-in-the-middle attack.
And caution: please all sweet people using Tor Messenger: it's important
that both parties verify each other and use a secure channel to compare
fingerprints.
Best,
Juha
