Reason I asked was to see if they'd only sent it to those with partsgateway or similar in their email address - i.e. they've only warned those they know could trace the data back to them rather than a full disclosure to their customer base. | |

Hey Ian - you seen the hilarious email from PartsGateway this morning confirming they've been breached and suggesting you delete your email address? | |

I do that trick too - good to see who's been selling your data on! A guy I used to work with used to use company name @ domain whenever dealing with big companies - said the reaction was priceless sometimes when telling someone on the phone that his email address was something like admiralinsurance@something.com :lol: | |

Still a good idea. There must be a way to do it with a less obvious set of characters but without a collision with other boxes. At least to the point where its enough messing so as not to bother. | |

So you can put any string after the + sign and you still get the email? | |

I do something like this (works in Outlook as well): http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Plus-Addressing-in-Gmail You can set up rules to makes it easy to file emails as they come in or automatically delete them if the address makes its way onto a spam list or you simply don't want to hear from that company any more - way easier than going through any given "unsubscribe" process. | |

This lot appear to have suffered a data breach; I just received a phishing e-mail that LOOKS like an order confirmation for car parts, containing an old address and phone number of mine, sent to an e-mail address unique to my Parts Gateway account (I specifically set up a new e-mail address for anything I sign up to online so I can tell where an incoming email from a naughty third party has got my data from). |
