Open these in Tor Browser only. When the login screen loads, compare the onion printed on the page against your address bar, reading from the end. If they differ, close the tab.
Everything else on this site is about diagnosing a slow or absent page. This one is different. If the two addresses disagree, the diagnosis is finished and the answer is to close the tab.
Why this check works when nothing else does
A cloned page can copy the design perfectly, because the design is served to anybody who asks for it. Fonts, layout, wording, the lot. What a clone cannot do is live at the real address, since that address is derived from a private key it does not have. So it has to sit somewhere else, and your address bar shows where you actually are. Print the real address on the page and the contradiction becomes visible.
How to run it
- Load the mirror and stop at the login screen. Do not type anything yet.
- Find the onion printed on the page itself.
- Compare it against the browser address bar, starting from the end. The last eight characters are the hardest to fake convincingly.
- If they match, sign in. If they differ by a single character, close the tab.
Where the bad addresses come from
Almost always from searching during an outage. A familiar address goes quiet, somebody wants in, they look for a replacement and take the first plausible result. Having the three addresses saved means that moment never arrives, which is the actual defence.
If you already signed in somewhere wrong
- Assume the username and password are gone. Change them anywhere else you reused them, which is the real cost of reusing.
- Do not send anything further to any address that page gave you.
- Come back through an address you copied from a source you trust and check the account from there.
How to read the result
Proceed. This is the check passing, and it is worth doing every single time.
Do not assume the worst, but do not sign in either. Load a different mirror and compare what that one shows.
Close the tab. No further diagnosis, no second look, nothing typed.
