Shortly after a warning was posted on the Tor blog of potential attempts to disrupt the network, a node operator has reported that several servers running exit nodes were seized in an apparent government raid.

It is unclear whether the recent seizure has any relation to the warning posted on the Tor blog. The operator of the nodes recommends not to use any of his mirrors or relays until he has investigated and provides a signed message verifying their safety.

..and from another source...

Santa's elves seem to be busy this holiday season. A few days ago, the TOR project blog warned of upcoming attacks against the network, specifically that certain servers (directory authorities) crucial to the security of the TOR network's operations would be seized. Tonight, there are reports of exit nodes being compromised by opponents with physical access to a USB port. The servers in question seem to be on Dutch soil.
