    Oh, so it’s like you create an email on the fly and it forwards it to your actual email

    Exactly! Except it’s not a regular forward, there isn’t a send action, it’s just moved into my email inbox.

    when was the last time you used LinkedIn?

    A month or two ago. I’m sure my data has been breached a few times. However, that doesn’t exactly absolve them - I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the “breaches” were in fact commercial agreements, when it comes to them.

    LinkedIn have always been scummy, since their inception. Their original trick was to get you to provide your email login details, then they would log in to your email and spam all your contacts telling them to join. That was literally how they established themselves in the market. This was back in the MSN chat days.
