Tor is also used by banks, diplomatic officials, members of law enforcement, bloggers, and many others. Millions more also use the Tor network at their local internet cafe to stay safe for ordinary web browsing. People use the Tor network every day to conduct their daily business without fear that their online activities and speech (Facebook posts, email, Twitter feeds) will be tracked and used against them later. The Tor network provides a safe haven from surveillance, censorship, and computer network exploitation for millions of people who live in repressive regimes, including human rights activists in countries such as Iran, Syria, and Russia. If the network is affected, we will immediately inform users via this blog and our Twitter feed along with more information if we become aware of any related risks to Tor users. We hope that this attack doesn't occur Tor is used by many good people.
( Directory authorities help Tor clients learn the list of relays that make up the Tor network.) 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.
The Tor Project has learned that there may be an attempt to incapacitate our network in the next few days through the seizure of specialized servers in the network called directory authorities.
