Dear Neldoreth relay’s operator,
This day, we were informed of a Tor node seizure at FirstHeberg during the 13-14/05, related to Wanacry infection of the french company Renault. https://www.nextinpact.com/news/104398-wannacrypt-nud-tor-saisi-chez-firsthe... FirstHeberg say the seized node was "traffic analyzed" during some times before being shuting down for content cloning and drive given to cops.
They are at least 5 others relays seized under the same case at OVH and Online providers. https://www.nextinpact.com/news/104302-wannacrypt-nuds-tor-saisis-par-autori... https://gist.github.com/nusenu/3d7bbeb7c97af591d65003b4bfe70021/
After consensus investigation, it seems your Neldoreth node is the only hosted at FirstHeberg with a downtime during this timeframe (from 14/05 18:00 to 17/05 14:00). This node is currently running, but lost its guard flag since restart.
Could you confirm if your node was seized or not ? If seizure confirmed or suspected, your private key is probably no more safe, so please report your fingerprint to bad-relays@lists.torproject.org for blacklisting to avoid reusage, and renew your private key.
Regards

For Jérémy Martin, the technical director of Firstheberg, the server itself should deliver few secrets. The captured traffic would be more useful, even if it would take other nodes to reach a possible control server.
The traffic from the enduser should have 3 layers of AES256 encrypted traffic, am I right?

Yep. The trouble with this traffic capture is it also contains real Tor client IP addresses in it, not related to the Renault case. Using Tor is not (yet) a crime in France, but with all surveillance bill currently passing on our country…
