I'm not sure this warrants a thread but I think it's important enough to appear on the thread list for new users. Some people have been promoting TB dot ac as the "new domain" or "new version" of TB. It's not. It's a honeypot site designed to steal your credentials and will ban you after a few minutes to prevent you from re-accessing it. It is hosted with no DMCA protection and no way to delete your account because it isn't designed to host real users. It's just scammers that are stealing logins to make money in the panic of TB disappearing.

I deep-dived into the fake site and it's contacting very fishy third party sites, also it's hosted on cloudflare so it will be short lived.

I made an account luckily it was a burner email and password but I've heard some horror stories on the TB reddit about the clone being a honey trap so I'd definitely stay away.
