Comment (by pidgin):

 the service behind onion HiddenService is fine, it is serving requests.
 before the DDOS there have not been "Server Not Found".
 Actually it was the hackers third iteration.
 First step from hacker was brute force DDOS which made tor cpu load 100%.
 countermeasure: vanguards and using ExcludeNodes (torrc)
 Second iteration from hacker was to use random nodes, about 1000+, to do
 tor cpu load 100%. countermeasure: vanguards / onionbalance.
 now tor browser gives "server not found", countermeasure not found yet

Comment (by nickm):

 Closed #29610 as a duplicate here.  What is causing you to conclude that
 this is an attack against Tor, instead of (say) an attack against some
 other component?  Right now, there's not enough information in your
 report(s) to tell.

 > We are pretty sure this problem is on the side of the TOR browser, is
 there anything we could do to sort this?

 Probably the best way to get started would be to explain why you conclude
 this is a problem with the Tor browser, or with Tor.

 My apologizes if it's not on TOR side, i am not here to discuss whether it
 is or not.
 Just trying to sort this problem out, so people won't have to deal with
 the problem in the future.
 And thank you for linking me the irc.

Comment:

 Setting Trac component (someone please reset it if it is incorrect).

 I don't understand the comment "We are pretty sure this problem is on the
 side of the TOR browser" since this sounds to me like a tor server-side
 issue. It is also unclear if this is a bug report or a support request.

 Also, if you need immediate help please ask on IRC:
