My password manager told me that my info was leaked, including IP address, address, email, personal information, and phone number, in a data breach of eye4fraud.com. However, I don’t use eye4fraud, so it must have been a site that uses their services. I would like to change my login credentials on the site that shared my data with them (and stop using their service since they’re sharing my info with a security company that was breached), but I don’t know which site that was. I found this list of sites that use eye4fraud, but that list has over 1,600 entries. Other than reviewing every single sight on the list, is there a way of finding out which site that I use leaked my info?
Does something similar exist aside from Gmail? Cus you know. Gmail.
I think it’s a fairly standard feature. At least Protonmail also supports this kind of “alias”.
If I’m not mistaken it’s part of the original spec, Dylan beattle had a bit in a talk about email at some point
Edit: I was in fact mistaken it’s a Google only thing and not part of the spec
You could use something like simplelogin.io to create aliases.
Integrates with password managers like Bitwarden nicely to generate aliases.
I think many other services support the + trick though too. The downside is that spammers know the + trick and can find out your base email easily; they can’t if you use an alias.
YMMV on all of these. These are things I use or have considered.
Protonmail supports + addresses as well. Not sure about others.
Afaik this is not a feature unique to Gmail, it’s a feature of the email system as a whole. Same with a dot. Any characters after a plus or dot in the first part of the email are ignored.
I’m fairly certain you’re wrong about the “.” in an email address
