Perfectly safe Dazz, well known site to check emails.

My email is even listed there after the Avast - Malwarebytes and AdGuard forum hacks :disapp:

Open a live outlook.com  (old hotmail)

Outlook live allows alias option i.e

Login email account = dazzdahotstud@outlook.com

alias = dazzler@outlook.com

Give out alias to other ppl, they cannot log into your email account using that alias, and hence cannot hack it.  Also if need be you can delete that alias and create multiple other alias when you feel like you need a new one.

After this identity theft issue, I'm so paranoid that I have alias everywhere :)

Hope this help you guys/gals

It’s not too much of an issue if your email has been pawned, as long as you change your password now an again then no one can access your email client.

Unless you start getting to much spam then of coarse you may wish to change emails.
