You may have arrived at this post because you received an email with an attached PDF from a purported hacker who is demanding payment or else they will send compromising information—such as pictures sexual in nature—to all your friends and family. You’re searching for what to do in this frightening...
For me this would not work. I have my own domain and give out like [email protected] So if the email is sent to that I wound just know who leaked my email adress. Change email and ban everything to to the old adress. I never get spam this way.
Thats pretty clever. I might have to start doing that.
Do you send all outgoing email from individualized addresses too?
I do the same as you ([email protected]), but all my outgoing emails come from ([email protected]), it worked great for about 5 years until people with me in their address book started getting hacked.
I can in Thunderbird but I don’t reply to companies. They have no reply email adress. Like here is your order number or there is our latest campaign. I use customer chat for help or company have internal message system like banks. In general I like to avoid using email due to the protocol design.
