Thanks for obscuring my email address, TikTok.

What criminal mind could possibly figure out what the missing character is?! #cybersecurity

Well that’s your own damn fault for using a vanity domain like that.

Missing character? Trick question, there's three asterisks so there's obviously three missing characters.

@maxalmonte14@lemmy.world True, my actual given name is Toood

Doxing yourself in this post has a wonderful irony

@essell@lemmy.world Honestly, if a hacker couldn’t take an educated guess like this, they’re not much of a hacker are they? 😂

This is how I feel when I use Fastmail masked aliases where they’re something like

sitename@adjective.noun1234.fastmail.com

And sites like this “protect” my data by making it

site***e@adjective.noun1234.fastmail.com

I've got a catch-all as well, so sometimes the only thing that's masked is the part I don't remember if site name could be ambiguous.
