This was a problem already before the generative AI era, it just got less expensive. The only way to reduce it is to have two work addresses: one that you rarely check and is exposed to the public, listed on your profile etc., and the real internal one just to get the work done.

Add that the AI can profile you and do a decent job spear phishing and you're talking about a sea change. >and the real internal one “Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.” There is no such thing as an 'internal' email you communicate to other people outside your company with. It's just an email address. Someone at some point will leak it by accident or malice.

Someone at some point will leak it by accident or malice. Sure, so personally I never use it to communicate with people outside. Also, I make sure it's never used to register with external licenses like Docker Desktop etc. as they subscribe me to their spamlist and send the usual semi-personalized messages - but as far as I can tell most of these bigger companies don't sell them outside (for a good reason). Startups, however, will do what they want and will make sure to squeeze the last drop from the info that such-and-such person works and that company and does X.
