Short summary
A highly cited 2013 paper argues that Hawking radiation being in a pure state, information being emitted near the horizon with low-energy effective field theory valid nearby, and an infalling observer encountering nothing unusual at the horizon are mutually exclusive. The authors propose the 'firewall' hypothesis, where infalling observers burn up at the horizon, as a potential resolution.
