G'Day Femto
Over the past 15+ years I have joined a number of groups like a web site 'web hosting talk' and all of them jumped all over my privacy and passed on my details to spammers / hackers.
I know what you are thinking -> how would he know that ?
Well its really simple I use DedicatedEmailAddressing ( DEA ) and our system tells me when a 3rd party tried to deliver a spam message using one of these DEAs.
Some of our customers charge suppliers for a new replacement DEA when they find the supplier has 'leaked' :)
Yeah, the host I use sells on webhostingtalk and I'm 99% sure they're selling my info on. My cPanel username there is the only place that I have that username, and that's what a massive chunk of my spam is directed to.
I'm a newbie to YC, can't c 'Edit' button, so I'm assuming it is like Twit. I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested, I think it is a really good idea, but really concerned that I don't find it is a waste of time after my privacy was again splattered
