C.<p>The thing that happens is, I create a new unique address for a business I'm dealing with. I put the company's name in the local-part of the email address I give them (that's the part before the "@" symbol in an email address).</p><p>And then they contact me demanding to know why (or how) I'm using "their" email. They see their company name or domain name in the local-part of my address and get incensed, thinking it's impossible, or illegal even. It makes no sense; would the greeting card mafia have a case against a big webmail provider if one of their users created the "hallmark@BigWebmailProviderDomain" address?</p><p>On more than one occasion, I have picked up the phone to find someone YELLING at me about "hacking their server" because of this.</p><p>I spend some time explaining it to them. Half the time, they kinda/sorta get it and calm down. The other half refuse to even stop yelling and think about what I'm telling them.</p><p>And this isn't some random one-person business I'm dealing with. Today, it was *my bank* that called me to demand to know why my support request email address had "their email" in it.</p><p>You would hope a bank, operating an online banking site, would have staff that have at least a passing familiarly with email and the internet. But nope.</p><p>To make it worse, this is actually the second time my bank has gotten upset about it.</p><p>3/3</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hacker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hacker</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ignorance</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/yell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yell</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/bank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bank</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/incompetent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incompetent</span></a></p>
