[Keith Fernie]

I've just tried a login to Twitter from the United Kingdom using Tor.
I was asked to verify my Twitter ID, first time I've seen this.
Then I received an email from Twitter with the title


Did you log in to Twitter from somewhere new?

Then I tried a login from a browser running on a vps in Estonia,
no verification or email this time. Not using Tor for this although I am
still logged in from the Tor login.

Results may have been different had I been in Iran.
