One statistic missing from the post: what percentage of malicious traffic on the internet actually comes through Tor?

Akamai says[1] that Tor exit nodes were "far more likely to contain malicious requests", but it was still only ~1.26% of the total.

edit: they say the "far more likely to contain malicious requests" statistic is 1:380 for Tor exit node IPs vs. 1:11,500 for non-Tor IPs, but I wonder is that simply a result of more traffic being concentrated to those few exit node IPs?
