In 2015, a man in Austria was arrested after an IP geolocation service identified his Tor exit node as the source of a cyber attack. It turned out that the man was innocent and had no involvement in the attack. He had simply been running a Tor exit node, which was used by the attacker to route their traffic. Still he was classified as an accomplice to the crime which highlights the potential risks of running a Tor exit node and the limitations of IP geolocation in identifying the source of cyber attacks.
