I have been doing the same for ~30 years now, and having an email address that established has its downsides - I’ve lost track of the number of times the trap has sprung. The most-recent was Tesla, though.
I did a lot of work on iCloud’s “Hide My Email”, and I’m involved (the DRI for) quite heavily in other privacy-focused work at iCloud. It’s something I feel strongly about.
- SSLy 4y agoThank you for the service, I'm just surprised AAPL lets you talk about it.
- spacedcowboy 4y agoYou will notice a complete dearth of detail in the above on anything not already known outside of Apple... It's generally fine to talk about something already public, and say you worked on it - there are projects that haven't released yet that I've worked on, and I absolutely will not talk about those until they are :)
- xur17 4y agoI just started doing the same (~ a month ago). Within a week of creating an account for bestbuy, I started receiving spam to that address. Do you do anything when you catch someone, or just note it to yourself, block the address, and move on?
- spacedcowboy 4y agoThe latter, generally. It's not worth trying to retaliate because these things come from addresses that aren't monitored, for the 99% case... I do make a point of telling people how shitty the company is though.. Like Tesla for example :)
