Considering that their Kickstarter was shut down 6 months ago due to their lies, and that they started up again at Indiegogo despite the warnings, and that they've been concealing information and attacking their critics through sockpuppets? Yes, I think it's fair at this point to call them malicious.

They've been acquired by http://www.sochule.com/
Which seems to specialize in social marketing?
This update promises another update (which is now overdue) that covers these issues: https://anonabox.com/news/anonabox-blog-when-there-is-blood-...
In Part 2 & 3 of this blog series, we will discuss:
-- Anonabox's Hardware
-- Anonabox's Firmware
-- Open Source vs. Closed Source
-- The Blackhole
-- Product Roadmap (New products coming Q3...maybe sooner)
-- Third Party Hardware & Firmware Review
-- Black Duck Software | Open Source Code Audit

The "acquisition" is rather questionable:

A simple fact is they do not _have_ the source code. They are only patching the firmware the router came with from China when they bought it. They are not even building Tor themselves but relying on an old unsupported version straight from OpenWrt's repository.
