Tor Project statement on today's attack.

This looks like a regular attempt at a Sybil attack: the attackers have signed up

many new relays in hopes of becoming a large fraction of the network.

But even though they are running thousands of new relays, their relays

currently make up less than 1% of the Tor network by capacity. We are

working now to remove these relays from the network before they become

a threat, and we don't expect any anonymity or performance effects based

on what we've seen so far.
