Today I received an email from Nord which is my VPN service.
The email was promoting 'Email Masking' a term I'd never heard of.
A quick read revealed a commercial service that does exactly what I have been privately doing for over 20 years.
I have promoted my idea here and elsewhere. Create unique email addresses for every party you deal with.
I've only done this via my own domain names but I see that business has gotten in on the act.
I'm certainly not promoting this business but their email to me explains the idea...
No more email leaks
NordPass is elevating your digital security to new heights with the launch of a new, innovative Premium feature — Email Masking.
This feature allows you to generate alternative email addresses linked to your main account and redirects all emails to your primary inbox without revealing its actual address. This means you can use different emails for various online activities — shopping, newsletters, or registrations—while keeping your primary email private and secure.
If this alias ever falls into the wrong hands, your primary email remains untouched and invisible to attackers. What does that mean? Well it significantly reduces your risk of spam and targeted phishing attacks, safeguarding not just your inbox but your overall digital identity.
