Yep, it certainly was a bit unnerving when I got the message. I can't entirely blame Twitter though. It's plausible that Twitter is using methods of detecting state-sponsored attacks that would become unreliable if Twitter gave full details to affected users. To add a data point, I had been using Twitter exclusively over Tor for a few months before I got that message. I have not ever been locked out of my Twitter account, possibly because I have 2FA enabled. The message I received from Twitter was signed via DKIM. I'm not familiar enough with DKIM to know if the DKIM signature is sufficient to prove that I received such an email. - -Jeremy Rand -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWfI8CAAoJEAHN/EbZ1y06NDsP/0bGwLD/cfuiOzLiJCO3JFGj f9MqK6QNbTICgeT0i4vGgRYfXzxtzk0zevGzTA+FjBsmDyrDqpj7hcSY/sjYA7Um w/fgpA28r0ManKEaKYJvrlUkLnWJP6V3y5FvqivqzgACvgB5Ctr3xedEZK481AZ1 MuEMZIUK9kELJIwGOnGt2v/lzMoX3foT4xoa6N/uWhvyopc/vwmMdtGe/7e7UlfU AdQHAlGS/tuRn0cBaMZ33SF21hd8h8ZCK87UBbClI1TiXIKe24OeQ3fw3MrD67ks 668IQ585MvNU9F6ADExVXpuhPYAjg6RFLKADF6pwb82ICnzHayq0CyvP7YcXu5KO /qr2R6CmKqiMsg6MdwOoWED8EH1+R3+mA0onr85kLwZrQHLfI2Ugmm/rDw6zr8sw RI0DgACPLamyVct2dL7Lt6hDg0vmKEt0982a2sNmdkRZ4asqIGYD+9wuA5GDCVAG T8GBnDzo34rpSWavtjOMcjrX9NKK7UgWMak8F0xAbxG1rP5jEjSCCsbIfRrOKzkx xcZCRjgOeUW8CnX4mTchgjsCs+m0lHSLkudgxB/xOiwDbKiQuvcit/mHDsuPHGV6 HRL3hTbYIjBYkuGjp2m6mzrvuAdQuFiidJk3Hb+ZAlcluFMzKKvUn+Ugyx/2GqzO 9DgRAE14LsfeMmYDniCt =3/AI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
