Indeed. See this thread: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2018-November/044648.html Including this from the operator: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2018-November/044650.html Basically, it was shared hosting, and he kept no backups, intentionally. I'm guessing that this was a standard shared-hosting privilege escalation. Also see my post: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2018-November/044652.html
