I'm so sick and tired of businesses abusing my trust and/or not publishing their security breaches that I'm using plus ('+') email addresses everywhere, i.e.:
my_account+site_address@example.org
for regular interactions, or:
my_account+site_address-current_date@example.org
for one-off interactions.
Won't help with historical abuses/data breaches but it'll certainly be invaluable in the future.
- aetherspawn 4y agoI started doing the same years ago and nothing came out of it. Most spam I got subscribed to, seemed to get my details some other way (or sanitised my email).
- cdaringe 4y agoSame. I still do, but 90% of the spam that actually lands is due to a biz I legitimately gave info to illegitimately sharing it with others
- ok123456 4y agoAbout 10% of sites don't allow you to use a plus sign in your email address.
