So you do not think that they are controlled by the same (malicious)
entity? (even though some declare their MyFamily accordingly*)

Or is the requirement to flag them as badexit to catch them red handed?

The case that one took over legit relays is unlikely since many are
rather 'fresh' ones.

Or: Are they still on the network so we can see what they are after? ;)
(rather hard given the amount of potential targets)

Did you (or anyone else?) try to reach out to them via their ISP(s)?


*) Why would a malicious entity start to declare a MyFamily at all?
I guess due to my email from
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2015-April/037384.ht
ml and it does not actually hurt their malicious activities because
the little groups are in the same /16 anyway. (They do not put all
their relays in a family)
