It could just be one of the standard malicious guard attacks. The risk
isn't huge for a single onion service. But if you have hundreds of onion
services on one server, each with its own guards, the odds of just one
onion service getting pwned by a malicious guard are correspondingly
greater. And one malicious guard is enough to pwn the server.<SNIP>
