Joke is on the Crunchyroll Hackers

Crunchyroll is investigating a potential hack which may have led to the exposure of customer email addresses. As readers of my anime writing on NLJ may know, I am a Crunchyroll subscriber (I have been a paying subscriber since 2016 and have had a free account since ~2010-11). I now laugh. Joke's on the hackers. My Crunchyroll account email is a SimpleLogin alias and I pay my annual subscription with a (now-deleted) virtual debit card from Privacy[dot]com.

Joke is on the Crunchyroll Hackers

Crunchyroll customer emails may have been hacked. Despite being a Crunchyroll customer, I am unconcerned because my email is a SimpleLogin alias.

IT part: Hang on if you want to read, this might get long...

- Passwords: on #ProtonPass (in synergy with #SimpleLogin) with family pass.
I'd prefer #Bitwarden (or #VaultWarden on PikaPods), but the bridge with SimpleLogin might get heavier. And migrating my family is a hassle.
- VPN: I love my #mullvad but if I stay with Proton Pass, grouping subscriptions at Proton with Proton VPN would be good... Except that I tried it, it wouldn't connect on my Linux, I gave up and asked for a refund.

Posteo Doubles Storage

I have a Posteo email account. I was paying 1 Euro per month (or whatever that converts to in USD at the moment) for 2 GB of storage. Today, Posteo doubled the amount of storage on the 1 Euro plan from 2 GB to 4 GB. I do not think I was anywhere close to using 2 GB, but you will not catch me complaining about free upgrades. The only downside of Posteo is that it lacks custom domain support, but I cover that base with Simple Login. I will be looking at Thunderbird Pro when that is available, […]

[Note] Posteo Doubles Storage

Posteo doubled the storage on its cheapest email plan. While I was not close to the lmit, I welcome free upgrades.

Periodic update on me checking on projects for #SelfHosting #anonymous #email forwarding services
- #SimpleLogin https://github.com/simple-login/app/ - python, docker, can plug it into OIDC, project owned by ProtonMail
- #Addy https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/ - PHP, docker optional, webserver can pass user in headers, integrating with SSO that way. Less active than above

I've been a user of #Simplelogin before #Proton bought it. Today, I'm deeply disappointed with @proton @simplelogin because they disabled my account without warning. It has been 3 hours now since I contacted them and still no reply. It was a grave mistake to rely on them.

@lyonsinbeta @chartier

#Proton owns and provides #SimpleLogin which is basically unlimited aliases. Lately they also integrated it into #ProtonPass which made it really convenient. I used to manage custom domains in the past for email aliases too. But then I found that I didn't really have to own a domain for that. Moreover, the SL domains aren't linked to my real name in public records.

@constancies The only truly good thing in the Proton ecosystem is #SimpleLogin, which isn't even developed by Proton. They just bought it up. And you can use it with any other email provider anyway.

@Chiquidrakula @Tutanota
Just started using #tutanote and use it with #simplelogin !!

In mailboxes you add your tuta email.
Then for every alias, you select the new mailbox.

Have fun !

Danke für die Tests und die Übersicht.

Das Ergebnis bzgl. #SimpleLogin kann ich in Bezug auf auf die spontane Nutzung nicht nachvollziehen.

Ich verwende u.a. die SimpleLogin-Erweiterung. Wenn man mit aktivierter Erweiterung ein E-Mail-Feld betritt, wird i.d.R. ein E-Mail-Adresse vorgeschlagen, meist der Form <Internetadresse>@<Standard-Domain>

Also z.B. [email protected] oder [email protected] – immer davon abhängig, welche "Standard"-Domain man im Plugin hinterlegt hat.

Das man hier immer die Aliase im Voraus erstellte müsste, kann ich **nicht** bestätigen.

Was vorkommen kann: das E-Mail-Feld wird als solches nicht erkannt. Dann muss man die E-Mail-Adresse im Erweiterungsfenster manuell initiieren.
Aber dies wird sicherlich bei den anderen Diensten der Fall sein.
