The black hole is not eternal. Once it is fully evaporated, you still need to account for the information that was contained within (or accept information loss).

One way to escape this is:

* You accept that the Hawkin radiation contains the original information.

* But it is scrambled in a reversible way, but so hard that you cannot reverse it with the energie available in the universe.

There are nice talk by Scott Aaronson about this, e.g.: https://simons.berkeley.edu/events/theoretically-speaking-se...

But Hawking radiation is black-body radiation. Isn't it just photons where its frequency is proportional to the black hole mass?

Where would the information be encoded?
