Also, warning people not to use those mirror sites is a responsible reaction to possible compromise.
- alfiedotwtf 12y agoSorry, I think you misunderstood me... what I meant was - what is the purpose of the TLAs continuing with their raids if everyone knew it was about happen. That's what I meant by fear mongering.
- meowface 12y agoIt's possible that they suspect the servers are hosting other services/content and aren't just Tor exit nodes. Other than that, I agree, I don't see what the point of this would be. Especially when there was some early warning. It is possible that the warning from a few days ago is entirely unrelated to this incident, though.
- lazyjones 12y agoOK, they might simply seek control of those servers in preparation for some large-scale action. Or they are after some people who they know absolutely depend on Tor to operate. Just wild speculation though...

Maybe this is related to the Sony hacks, the authorities could know about a forthcoming data leak or threat. Taking away a major source of anonymity could prevent the information getting out.
