At this moment in time I am under no gagging orders or influence fromexternal parties/agencies.

If no update is provided within 48 hoursyou may draw your own conclusions.

The likelihood of this being the work of law enforcement seems tobe lower than originally anticipated.

Researchers discover a way to de-anonymize the TOR network and identify the real user

This is good in many ways butasks more questions than it solves right now.

I am not going tocompletely exclude the possibility of law enforcement involvementthough as there simply isnt enough information.

Ifappropriate we will then also look to make them public assuming thereare no consequences for doing so.

The servers have been blacklisted and pose no danger to the Tornetwork or the users of it.

I will refrain from putting these serversback online until a proper vetting and analysis of events has happened.

Support staff at the ISP have not yet commented on whether awarrant has been executed for the servers.

Therefore I wont be drawing conclusions from that.

Support staff at the ISP have confirmed to me there has beenunauthorised access to my account.

No information was kept on the server in relation to users.

Again, at this moment in time I am under no gagging orders orunreasonably withholding information under orders.

One or two media groups/reps have contacted me.

If anything significant developsI am sure Tor Project will release the information in due course.

Another thing that Thomas mentions is that he is not sure if this was a raid by the authorities.

However he has not excluded the idea of a large scale raid by FBI on Tor exit nodes.

He is in contact with the ISP providers for finding out the exact reasons behind this unusual activity.
