What happened
The Tor network was attacked and all v3 onion addresses were inaccessible. Darknetdaily posted that this seems to be a new type of attack that will affect the entire network and cause the consensus authorization node to overload. Hugbunter, the administrator of the dark web forum Dread, said that all v3 onion addresses are currently inaccessible. The cause of the accident is unknown, but it may cause a huge attack on the entire network. Hugbunter speculated that an article he published earlier might have spawned this attack. The article advocated that competitors in the market should be prevented from launching DDoS attacks against each other.
