According to a blog post, the Tor project has learned of an upcoming attempt to compromise the anonymous network by knocking out specific key servers called directory authorities. As these servers manage the series of relays that make up the Tor Network, if enough of them were knocked offline the network could fail. However, Project leader Roger Dingledine – or “arma” as he is known – said: “We are taking steps now to ensure the safety of our users, and our system is already built to be redundant so that users maintain anonymity even if the network is attacked.”
