Hi folks,

Looks like it was a pretty wide-scale event a few days ago. Since German
policy is at stake, I figure the best move is to let our German privacy
advocates deal with it. I think most German exit node operators are
coordinated already, but if you're involved or want to become involved,
you can contact Julius et al at anonymizer@xxxxxxx

(To my knowledge, no non-exit nodes were involved. Just exit nodes.)

Thanks,
