In my scan on October 2, 26 of the 27 compromised servers outside the Quetzalcoatl relay family (most hosting multiple exits) were at FranTech/BuyVM.

It's been discussed on the mailing list: https://lists.torproject.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/tor-re...

That doesnt prove FranTech itself was compromised, but its a strong cluster. AFAIK nobody has contacted them yet, if no one does, I plan to give them a heads up in the coming days.

Author here :)

TLDR: on Oct 2, 333 exits (~10% of Tor exits) started redirecting port 22 to 12 interception servers running a paramiko-based MITM that stole passwords and tried to drop Ebury on the target.

The xz story is so depressing. The only person who stepped up to help him was someone trying to plant a backdoor...

Interesting that they accept hand leveled acounts

> Do you think this is really about climate change? No, these are empty human beings

I found it a ironic to make such a confident psychological diagnosis built on zero contact with the people involved
