A newly disclosed privacy vulnerability in Apple’s Hide My Email feature can reportedly allow an attacker to uncover the real email address behind a generated alias. According to the researcher who found the bug, it was responsibly disclosed to Apple more than a year ago but remains unpatched, and independent testing has verified the issue.

    It depends on the domain. I intentionally have a bizarre .party domain I use as a shibboleth to see if a company is worth using. If they don’t have a way to use my .party email, I assume they are lazily run and based their decisions either on outdated nonsense or are a gross data mining operation I should avoid anyway.
