Tor is most interested in understanding how these services were located, and if this indicates a security weakness in Tor hidden services that could be exploited by criminals or secret police repressing dissents. We have not been contacted directly or indirectly by Europol nor any other agency involved. Later reports have clarified that it was hundreds of URLs hosted on roughly 27 web sites offering hidden services. Early reports say 17 people were arrested, and 400 hidden services were seized. If your relay was seized, please also tell us its identity so that we can request that the directory authorities reject it from the network.īut, more to the point, the recent publications call the targeted hidden services seizures "Operation Onymous" and they say it was coordinated by Europol and other government entities. If anyone has more details, please get in contact with us. Specifically, there are reports that three systems of disappeared and there is another report by an independent relay operator. We do not know why the systems were seized, nor do we know anything about the methods of investigation which were used. Over the last few days, we received and read reports saying that several Tor relays were seized by government officials. Unfortunately, we have very little information about how this was accomplished, but we do have some thoughts which we want to share. Recently it was announced that a coalition of government agencies took control of many Tor hidden services.
