TOR has never been "secure". Everyone running an exit-node can intercept all communications going through that node, and since everyone can run an exit-node... So, you always had to take care that you use encryption when using TOR. In Terms of anonymity though TOR seems still to bug NSA and the likes.

Apples and oranges. All I want is anonymity, I am fine with the exit seeing things as it does not know who I am.

Tor, not TOR.

SSL. Also, all ISPs can do this.
