I know this because I use SimpleLogin to provide each service with its own specialized email address. You can see in the picture the address starts with bixi@sl.***
It’s also possible but unlikely that they sold user data.
@isVeryLoud I got the same email a few days ago from my bixi-specific account. This is pretty typical of a breach, doubt they sold it as such.
haha ouais j’ai eu le même email tantot, j’utilise aussi mon nom de domaine mais j’étais pas sur si c’était un pur hasard comme j’utilise un catch-all. Merci d’avoir confirmé!
ça serait vraiment pratique d’avoir un système de signature automatique avec SimpleLogin avec protonmail comme proposé dans ce blog: https://kevincox.ca/2022/07/07/signed-email-addresses/ comme ça, seul le courriel avec la signature unique peut recevoir des messages, et des messages perdus par des bots qui tentent des noms de domaines au hasard qui pourraient avoir un catch-all se font automatiquement rejeter.
update: simplelogin fait quelquechose presque comme j’aimerais, mais c’est pas aussi bien intégré que j’aimerais
Haha yeah I got the same tantot email, I also use my domain name but I wasn’t sure if it was a pure chance like I use a catch-all. Thank you for confirming!
It would be really convenient to have an automatic signature system with SimpleLogin with protonmail as proposed in this blog: https://kevincox.ca/2022/07/07/signed-email-addresses/ like that, only the email with the single signature can receive messages, and messages lost by bots that try random domain names that could have a catch-all are automatically rejected.
Update: simplelogin does something almost as I would like, but it’s not as well integrated as I would like
Apple’s native translation Edit: for those browsing by All, didn’t see the community at first :)
I also assign unique eMail addresses for my online accounts, and also got this eMail today.
It’s likely that Bixi got hacked, not that they sold the eMail address.
Just do what I do – change the eMail address slightly on the mail server and on your online account.
I wouldn’t expect a lot of overlap between MAGA / crypto idiots and bike share users (especially in Montreal), but there’s the proof. Weird.
This is not sufficient for your conclusion given the burden of proof required for this claim. And, to be clear, you are claiming that: This organization controlled by the municipality is SELLING your email address. Your proof is a screenshot with the addressed censored. Not that there was a leak, not that someone guessed this handle, not that PBSC got hacked, not that you typed the wrong handle into a form. I can run this past bixi for you if you DM me your address, but you’re assuming a lot and I would bet not just MAGA but real coins that you’re wrong about bixi selling your info.
Btw I contacted them by email this morning and gave them all the information I have, waiting on a reply.
I sent you a PM with the information, let me know if you got it :)
