In light of recent posts from Thomas White and some node operators, I'm wondering whether "seizure" might be looking more like "compromise". There might be a range of attacks, from DDoSing to rooting, and perhaps even the covert installation of malicious hardware. Or is that too alarmist? -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
