Customer notice - data breach

[td]
Dear xxx,

It has come to light that our customer database was accessed remotely by a hacker late yesterday, and a small amount of customer data has been compromised.

We regret to inform you that the following data has been exposed in the data breach:

Your name
Your email address

We would like to apologise sincerely for this data breach, caused by a vulnerability on one of our servers, which has now been rectified.

We would like to confirm that no other data has been exposed, such as your phone number, account password or payment details. Please be aware that we do not store customer payment details on our systems at any time. Furthermore, the hacker has no way of accessing your easySim.global account, your phone or eSIM, all of which continue to be safe to use.

However, the hacker, who has so far used the name Anton Green and has contacted some of our affected customers. If this happens, please forward any email to support@easysim.global immediately.

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has been notified and we are doing everything possible to inform affected customers. Please see the statement on our website, with details of the extent of the breach and the action we have taken. We continue to protect the integrity of our systems and would like to apologise again for any inconvenience and distress caused by this data breach.

If you need any further information, please contact us at support@easysim.global or call us on +44 (0)23 9277 8833 and press option 4 to leave and message and we will call you straight back.

Best regards
Richard Gwilliam
Director

What is the lesson here! Using an email forwarder for unknown companies, plus if they allow it use a fake name

Problem is that some sites block it.

I think a Gmail alias is still better than nothing and I think you should be able to configure emails from that alias if it gets breached to go to spam/bin?

That would work too - I have never tried the Gmail alias, I use icloud hide my email

or email providers that allow you to create 'aliases' which you can always delete later ;)
 
Occasionally the Gmail alias pattern where you use the + character gets thwarted by websites/apps that collect your email address where the logic they have implemented on their web form incorrectly doesn't permit a + character in the localpart of the email address
