The problem is that they're using denial of service attacks to overload the 
servers, and parts of the Tor network as a result. Tor doesn't seem to 
handle this very well. This takes down hidden services and nodes, 
consequently censors Tor hidden services and makes several circuits halt. If 
that isn't an attack on Tor, then I'm a fish with wings.
