“Have you been pwned?”"Have i been pwned" is seriously such a useful service. You can can check if your email address is in a data breach, which allows you to find out why you're suddenly receiving so much phishing spam. Definitely recommend periodically checking your email to see a timeline of when and where your data was leaked. I also subscribe to their notification service. It's basically a free newsletter that's only sent out if your email was included in a recent breach. If you get an email notification -> it's probably time to rotate over to a new email address before the phishing starts. I've also personally talked with Troy (the founder) a couple times. He's an amazing and down to earth person, even shared some of my privacy related tweets in the past :)
