Swedish security expert Dan Egerstad was arrested and questioned by agents of the Swedish National Police during a raid on his apartment earlier this week. Egerstad is responsible for publicly disclosing e-mail account and server login information for embassies, companies, and government agencies. He later published his methodology and revealed that he had collected the information by setting up a specialized packet sniffer on five Tor exit nodes operated by his organization, Deranged Security.
