I sure don’t feel safe just ignoring it, considering the frequency.

    When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

      You can use something like SimpleLogin to create email aliases that can’t be traced back to your real email address.

      Edit: other options are available, such as Firefox Relay which does exactly the same thing.

        I used to use Relay but they had gotten added to a couple of disposable email block lists and because of that started having issues with my accounts…

        Idk if SimpleLogin has that same issue or if there’s a way around the problem entirely

      Not sure. But Proton, Apple, passmail SimpleLogin (got names mixed up) and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.
