how did the other sites get taken down?

I know how SR2 was taken down but did anyone figure out why the other 2 sites were taken down?

Best guess so far is they were all using rackspace provided by one hosting company.

it was more than 2, btw.

1 site's ip leaks, police search all other servers in the data center for tor connections, find all other hidden sites and seizes them.


[2 Points] HowDidTheyDoIt:

There was a few posts recently about DDOS attacks that are crafted in a way that re-direct/reveal IP information.

Go back and few pages, I asked something similar a few days back but thats the best explanation IMO.
