🚨 A simple inbox tip: If you own a domain name, you can create a different email address for every website you sign up to. If one starts receiving spam, you'll know exactly which address was exposed and can deactivate it without affecting the others. 👉 Swipe to see how it works. #doteu #EURid #cybersecurity
