[WARNING] Amazon + Email passwords stolen by Tor exit node

I got locked out of my (fake) amazon and email accounts by logging into them over tor. Not really sure how to avoid this but be careful guys.

surprising, if you log in from another computer with a different ip, the amazon server notices a session conflict and kills one of it...pssst dude...this is a feature ;)

Amazon is really good at finding fake accounts. They probably monitor connections that come in through tor exit nodes, and give these extra scrutiny. A banned amazon account acts just like that, giving a bad password error.

I can't imagine how your password could be stolen by the exit node, it's encrypted. Amazon just banned you.
