I have, and when it happens, the company responsible loses my business.
I got a pump and dump scam from an alias that I only used for my brokerage account. They assured me it wasn't them. A week later they publicly announced that they were hacked.
This happened with me and Robinhood.
Yes. My system wasn’t compromised. They just put my address as their From: address. I got bounces.
cant dmarc prevent this? 😳
It was a long time ago.
but a strict dmarc can prevent it right... paranoid now 😅
As long as the recipient denies spoofed From: addresses, yes. There are still mail services out there that let spoofed email in.
I have.
No story to it, don't recall. Just killed the alias and moved on.
Not yet, but oddly I wait in anticipation.

I have a few times. I made an email service that only uses aliases called Port87. Now I can just block the alias when it starts to get spam.
Once, way back when I still used Hotmail. It's what made me stop using Hotmail.
Sure. From my bank, credit card and Mr. Lube (auto service shop). I haven't noticed anything that indicated my data ended up in a breach. Just a few companies that abused my trust and sent me spam.
Yup, with my bank account
