That’s a use case for aliases, catching if any company or service gives out your email to be abused by advertisers and whatnot. I tried looking for stories but didn’t find any, I wonder if you have any to share.

    Somehow my Xfinity alias I used last year (before I escaped them, thank god) was stolen and it gets spam from time to time. Xfinity hasn’t reported a breach, but somehow it’s the only one I’ve caught so far.
