tor was being used for password brute force attacks and required significant infrastructure fixing to make it work safely.

It's now fixed.

If you continue to have problems, please file a support ticket rather than throwing around unfounded accusations of sabotage.

How was it fixed, if you happen to know?

Rewriting a bunch of stuff to achieve a combination of less information leakage and better rate limiting, I think.

I did briefly attempt to understand the relevant chunk of C code, but my eyes crossed and I developed a headache.

So sorry if that's a bit vague.
