"Facebook would treat users as “hacked’ since their location would vary throughout the world. Using the .onion address prevents the lock-out from occurring."
So anybody wanting to "hack" a Facebook account should do it via Tor and use the .onion address to avoid being detected and locked out? How does that work?
- spindritf 12y agoI'm guessing they treat the first login via .onion as a new location and require some additional verification but subsequent ones as if they were coming from a known location. They could achieve the same by just treating all exit nodes as the same location but this looks much more elegant to me.
