Tor Project released a blog post: "Defending the Tor network: Mitigating IP spoofing against Tor"

"At the end of October, Tor directory authorities, relay operators, and even the Tor Project sysadmin team received multiple abuse complaints from their providers about port scanning. These complaints were traced back to a coordinated IP spoofing attack, where an attacker spoofed non-exit relays and other Tor-related IPs to trigger abuse reports aimed at disrupting the Tor Project and the Tor network.

Thanks to a joint effort from the Tor community, InterSecLab, and the support of Andrew Morris and the team at GreyNoise, the origin of these spoofed packets was identified and shut down on November 7th, 2024."
