I don't get the email+tag. Spammers can just drop the plus tag and get your real email address?

- cormacrelf 5y agoIf it makes it into a leak database, you know who to blame.
- stu2b50 5y agoThey could, but they don't. Spammers cast a wide net and usually aren't concerned about the crumbs that fall through. Not to mention the people that do the plus or dot tricks are going to be extremely low value spam targets.
- stingraycharles 5y agoYup, but assuming these spammers want to keep their lists of leaked emails fresh, it’s kind of silly that they’re so unconcerned about it: they’re very much helping to expose their suppliers. I feel that they must realize that can’t be good, but maybe I overestimate them.
