🔍 GoBalance flaw exposes Tor-format keys behind .onion services

A vulnerability in GoBalance allows attackers to recover Tor-format private keys and hijack associated .onion addresses. The issue affects hidden services whose key material can be derived and reused, enabling unauthorized control of the destination identity behind the onion address.

Operationally, this breaks one of the core trust assumptions of Tor hidden services: address ownership tied to private key secrecy. If exploited, the flaw enables silent service takeover rather than simple disruption, with direct implications for authentication, continuity, and attribution in dark web infrastructure.
