The main issue I see here is the 10%. Thats a really big chunk. They were bigger than me :( I also mailed the Tor Project after Nusenu did not receive an answer. This has to be much faster in the future.

Dear all,
I was made aware today of the article be nusenu [1]. Please read it.
So even I theoretically new Sybil attack scenario against the tor network - I never was aware it could affect so much of the tor network infrastructure: "At their peak they reached >10% of the Tor network’s guard capacity".
The article leaves me with some thoughts:
- Due to the natrue of the tor network the problem can never be solved
by 100%
- How can the tor network be improved to be more resilient against this
attach (Software & Operation)
- Is there currently already activity ongoning by the tor project and
how can we as organizations and operators support it
best regards
