Tor Network Is Under Attack through Directory Authority Servers Seizure

So I was reading though my lists and saw this.

Tor Network Is Under Attack through Directory Authority Servers Seizure.

Here are some of the points that stuck out to me.

Thomas White (@CthulhuSec), an operator of a large cluster of servers providing an exit point for Tor traffic in the Netherlands, warned of a suspicious activity overnight on the servers. The targeted servers, according to DNS data, were hosted in a data center in Rotterdam.

""I have now lost control of all servers under the ISP and my account has been suspended," White wrote on Sunday in an update on the Tor mailing list. "Having reviewed the last available information of the sensors, the chassis of the servers was opened and an unknown USB device was plugged in only 30-60 seconds before the connection was broken. From experience I know this trend of activity is similar to the protocol of sophisticated law enforcement who carry out a search and seizure of running servers.""

What do you think of this ?

What should be do ?

Here is a link to the full thing.

The directory authority threat has nothing to do with cthulusec's exit nodes, and he doesn't believe law enforcement was involved in his servers going down.

I would stop getting information from websites like thehackernews and start getting it from the Tor blog/mailing lists if you want correct and timely information.

i think this was a hypothetical concept hack that they were preparing for, not something people did...did they not prepare in time and now its all fucked up or something?
