This truly violates user privacy, since a state actor could create many nodes and carry out probing attacks, just like in Tor. There are many ways to improve Lightning’s privacy, and this is certainly not one of them. LND couldn’t care less about privacy; it’s only interested in promoting stablecoins and obeying the WEF.

routing gossip is a known attack vector. sybil resilience is the real challenge. stop waiting for lnd to care—spin up core lightning, enforce manual peer selection, and keep your graph local.

Probing attacks very likely already exist on the network. Quite probable even that one of the large ‘trustworthy’ nodes on the network is a honeypot. But still, the reality is that first hop / last hop of any tx can never be known by any intermediary node.
