Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users.

How do you reply to those emails in case of needing to contact with said company.
I'd assume they would deny service if the user (even on the same custom domain) is not equal to the account holder.When you get an email from Company A that sends to your alias email, the email goes to your inbox. When you reply to that email, your alias provider forwards it to Company A where the sender is your alias address.
In short, you simply reply and your alias service takes care of it for you so that the recipient only sees your alias email and not your true email.

A self-proclaimed data enthusiast calling themselves ‘ThinkingOne’ has made a huge database containing 201 million pieces of user data from X freely available. The data is said to have come from two previous leaks and includes email addresses, locations and profile data of users of the social media platform.
this leak has proven in the past to be fatally dangerous to anonymous activists fighting tyrant governments all around the world. let's hope it does not fall into the wrong hands

It fell into the wrong hands 3 years ago. If those people failed to recognize the danger they put themselves in by continuing to use the platform they are shit out of luck cause Musk will never take responsibility.

I just don't use aliases for companies I need to send emails to. There are very few.

Someone Musk made up to simply glaze himself on twitter.
So his version of HitlerPig's John Baron?

i am pretty sure Dittman is a real person https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/bad-news-for-adrian-dittman-elon-musk-truthers/
Yeah, I know there was a story in that Spectator magazine. I'm still not sold. Dittman said way too many stupid things that point to him being Elon.

I've been on mastodon for 8 years and it's ok but it can't catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.
It shouldn't take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.
100% agree. The user experience of Mastodon is unappealing for the masses. Bluesky will enshittify for sure, but it's the only real replacement for Twitter nowadays.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for "activism" against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.
If you use X for your activism, you're not an activist you're a fed honeypot.
It's not realistic to expect your average civic minded person to also have such operational securitt. Instead the bad actors who threaten them should found, exposed, dismantled, persecuted with extreme prejudice

This is what I do as well. I purchased my own custom domain name and run aliases off it using Addy. So as an example, an email for an online account would look like: ‘[email protected]’
Then I feed these accounts into a password manager so I don’t have to remember them.
All the aliases forward mail directly to my main inbox. Companies never see what my real address is. If I get spam, I know which company either sold my data or leaked my data. I can then take action by simply turning off that email alias and then spinning up a new one.
The best thing about owning your custom domain is that you’re in control and never have to change your email addresses. If I want to move to a new email provider, I can easily do that. The process, simplified:
- Buy a domain name
- Sign up for an email account at Tuta, Mailbox, etc.
- Set up your custom domain at that provider.
- Go to your Domain provider and update your MX records so that it syncs with the email provider.
- if you want to switch email providers, get a new one and then update your MX records to point to the new provider.
wouldn't profilers simply track via the domain tld instead of the whole address...
shopping1 at uniquedomain.com, bank2 at uniquedomain.com, etc

Great questions! Seriously, those made me think for sure.
For question one, I suppose a profiler could do that. If my domain name is myemaildomain.com, they probably could track all emails and sell it collectively. But I don’t think corporations do that at this time. That would be akin to profiling all Hotmail, Gmail, Live, etc emails, appreciating those are massive services. I suppose if nefarious actors were to do that to my domain, I could consider switching domains - I have multiple domain names I own, and it’d be trivial to use the other ones. In the years I’ve been using a custom domain for email, I haven’t encountered any nefarious actors and have significantly eliminated any spam.
For question two, the domain provider I use doesn’t do that in their terms of service. However, if they did look at my MX records and decided they wanted to profile me as a user of Addy, they definitely could do that. Though it would hurt their business as many users would migrate their domains to new registrars - I certainly would move my domains to a new registrar!

Thanks, though do you have a link for Anomaly? I can't seem to pull up anything.

I use addy.io
Wow, infinite aliases?! This is way better than Fx Relay, thanks!
