I sure don't feel safe just ignoring it, considering the frequency.

If this isn’t a phishing email itself, your email address was probably harvested from a compromised site you used it to sign up with. There are sites where you can check to see if it’s compromised. This is why I started using email aliases when signing up for any site or service. It shows where it was compromised or you’ll find some companies will share it with partners or sell your info sometimes.

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

You can use something like SimpleLogin to create email aliases that can't be traced back to your real email address.

Edit: other options are available, such as Firefox Relay which does exactly the same thing.

I used to use Relay but they had gotten added to a couple of disposable email block lists and because of that started having issues with my accounts...

Idk if SimpleLogin has that same issue or if there's a way around the problem entirely

Thank you, this is really helpful!

Not sure. But Proton, Apple, ~~passmail~~ SimpleLogin (got names mixed up) and some other providers have a way you can create email aliases on the fly that forward to your real address. I think Microsoft does too but it was limited last time I looked at it.

Thank you, I'll look into options.
