#3Kim Dotcom gave them 3000 Mega accounts yesterday, and now they seem to have created 3000 relays. Is the number just a coincidence, or are they doing it through those accounts somehow?

They probably sold the vouchers and bought servers with them. Most of the relay IPs are coming from the Google cloud.

#5This is fun to watch, even funnier when you realize that any talk around this is just that - talk. But, I'm intrigued for the future, this type of hacking is starting to make its comeback, and that's a cute thing.

Those are simply file hosting accounts, so there's ability to run something like a Tor node from them.
More likely is they're using the same botnet that was attacking PSN/XBL to run Tor relays.

#7For Tor network status and node list: https://torstatus.blutmagie.de/
All names appear to begin with LizardNSA.
It must be said, however, that all exit and non-exit nodes go through acceptance process over 88 days

As grateful as I was to be able to actually play the games I received on Christmas, it is hard to find anything positive longer term with respect to paying off DDOS attacks (though I'm assuming that this more or less happens constantly away from public view).

#9It's unfortunate that they're attacking Tor, but at least this type of attacks is being demonstrated now by someone presumably only out for lulz, rather than potentially by more malicious entities in the future.
