Josh Pitts of Leviathan Security Group has identified a Tor exit node that was actively adding malware to binary files dynamically. He ran across the misbehaving Tor exit node while performing some research on download servers that might be patching binaries during download through a man-in-the middle attack. An article about this can also be found at Threat Post.
