An anonymous reader writes "Ireland's Computer Emergency Response Team differs from what you can find in most other countries, since it's not government-backed and relies mainly on the good will of several security professionals. In this interview, the founder and head of the CERT, Brian Honan, talks about how the CERT was formed, what equipment they use and what challenges they face in their daily work without having a government to back them up."

I actually agree with CERT MY in this case. By providing a TOR exit node, you are acting as an access provider. Someone is abusing TOR, and you are their gateway. Seems like you have a responsibility, just like an ISP does.
And I agree with their methodology -- if they don't want people specifically targeting (or specifically avoiding) their honeypot, then of course they don't want to publish the IP.
