It's not news - it's *long* been known that Tor would be breakable if somebody pwned a sufficient percentage of the nodes. It's been regarded as a mostly theoretical attack, because the sort of people that run Tor have up to now been the paranoid type that tend to secure their systems better. The only part of *news* in it was this: "Researchers showed that one third of the nodes are vulnerable," So maybe the "people who run Tor are more paranoid" assumption is flawed and needs to be reconsidered.
