That doesn't seem to be related to the DoS in any way. I only vaguely
recognize the name Dread, but seeing that they accidentally posted their
private onion key is not surprising. Some people have terrible security.

Since it was just a PEBKAC issue and not a Tor issue, I'm unconcerned.

Unfortunately, while I had ~30 HSDirs just a few days ago, I now have
four as a result of the attacks. And they're likely going soon too. I am
trying to hold out a little bit longer in hopes of an update with a fix.
