Being subscribed to this community taught me that even if you trust the company you’re giving your data to(Don’t trust any), it’s still only a matter of “when” it will be leaked not “if”.
It’s just a good rule of thumb that all data you give will end up open/sold.
That’s why I started using a catch-all on my domain to register on websites. Each website gets their own email and password combo, and if they get compromised and I get spam, I can just update the email and block the compromised alias.
And spammers are probably aware of this and will just strip out the + and everything behind it. Might still be effective to track if your info got leaked tho. If you want to do a real catch-all you need a certain level of technical know-how.
