When it comes to email, the rule is simple: don't use the same email for all websites.
It's a common practice and a good one, but sometimes it can become too convenient. Sharing one email address with multiple sites can make it easy for hackers to get hands-on with your email from data breaches.
This can lead to data leaks and even identity theft—and that's not something we want to happen!

So how can you keep your email safe? The best way is to compartmentalize your emails e.g., 1 email for social media, 1 private email for banking and 1 Email for personal use most importantly, for junk website sign-up use burner email services like https://temp-mail.org/en/. This way, one email breach won't impact other compartments.
Be safe out there.
