Nothing to do with TOR 

In Tor at heart of embassy passwords leak

This is case of not using decent encryption, TOR just allows for the traffic that client sends to be routed around an virtual network - the exit node just sniffed the traffic and either ran a cracker on the password or the password was plain text.

Either way it's the fault of the network admins for allowing non-encrypted passwords (that are well encrypted)

Jokers.
