Question how exactly the servers are being physically found in the *first place*. Look for cases where the servers were mysteriously just "found", with rest of timeline unfolding after that secret or questionable moment. Tor and other networks are sold as being able to protect from such network "finds".
I just saw a HN thread that proposes a ~simple answer.[0] 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> 0) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22292161
