I’ve had the same email address and online pseudonym since 1999…
The last few months have seen increasing spam, worryingly starting to use my username as entered when creating a pseudonym.
Yesterday saw an attempted blackmail email using an old, low level password of mine (used back in the day only on forums) in the title of the email. I’m thinking some forum or other has been compromised. I spent last night changing passwords I have to much tougher ones, a few more needed to be changed this morning.
I’ve made sure two-factor is authorised and old app permissions are revoked.
I’m just thinking it may be time for a fresh start…but then it will still not remove all the security risks or possible spam in future…?
