Tor veteran Lucky Green exits, torpedos critical 'Tonga' node and relays (The Register)

The Register reports that longtime Tor contributor Lucky Green is quitting and closing down the node and bridge authority he operates. "Practically, it's a big deal. Bridge Authorities are part of the infrastructure that lets users get around some ISP-level blocks on the network (not, however, defeating deep packet inspection). They're also incorporated in the Tor code, meaning that to remove a Bridge Authority is going to need an update." The shutdown is scheduled for August 31. (Thanks to Nomen Nescio)
