@loldoxbin claims to have been a part of a group that ran one of the sites taken down (doxbin). At 6:53 on Nov 7 2014, the account began a series of tweets which might give hints as to how the servers were found <https://twitter.com/loldoxbin/status/530765088366821377>. It involves a DDOS in August this year:

"Something to note from that graph: There were lots of very odd layer 7 ddos requests which affected tor performance moreso than anything ... like my TCP buffers weren't even close to max, but I had to mess with the ContrainedSockets options in torrc in order to have availability. ... Intangir and I even talked at the time about how it was probably a deanonymization attempt."
