Do you have any evidence for the claim that TOR is so badly compromised? My understanding of the article is not that TOR was hacked, but rather that a tor user was tricked into opening a non-tor site and thus giving away his/her IP address.
Also if just the exit node is compromised, encrypted connections are still safe (TTBOMK).
