Das ging auch über die tor-relay-ML[0] und gab dann einen Blogeintrag vom TOR-Projekt selber[1], der dann den interessanten Teil enthält:

From the limited information The Tor Project has, we believe that one user of the long-retired application Ricochet was fully de- anonymized through a guard discovery attack. This was possible, at the time, because the user was using a version of the software that neither had Vanguards-lite, nor the vanguards addon, which were introduced to protect users from this type of attack. This protection exists in Ricochet-Refresh, a maintained fork of the long-retired project Ricochet, since version 3.0.12 released in June of 2022.
