Prolexic is using a real vulnerability to enhance their contacts DB and increase the surface area of their sales efforts. Disgusting.

This is why the Internet invented things like 10 Minute Mail

Thanks for sharing the link. It's much appreciated. But that doesn't change the fact that the fine folks at Prolexic are acting like douchebags. Which was my point.

What's needed is an abstract number like a disposable e-mail address to start protecting our anonymity. Once it's used to verify if the customer is "sponge-worthy" it disappears and the requester can't use it again.

and doesn't seem to leave a user with any option to permanently bypass product registration, nagging the user every single time it starts up until they do.

You have a 6-digit slashdot ID.

I would think that someone with one would have been around the block long enough to know how to set up a disposable email account, like 10-minute-mail.

You're welcome.

On what version? It runs just fine in FLP.

I can vouch for that, I signed up for a cash for review service, I get $2 for making positive Android reviews and occasional $3 for Samsung reviews. It pays similar to how bulk email spamming pays, course that's like 25 cents per hundred thousand or more depending on product being spammed.

if people are interested here is a "top 12 list" of companies that will pay you to review products, apps, os, etc.
http://www.blogstash.com/12-best-get-paid-to-review-sites-to-make-money-with/

every review either video, or written product review you post link, it gets verified and part of your account stats,

most places works similar to adsense on payouts. minimum of $100.00 in the account and they'll either send a check or direct deposit into paypal for you.

I get about $30-$50 from reviews to paypal, and I use that money to pay for my pc gaming wants :P

its shit, and make sure you always use a throw away email, I use: http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html

couple hours of bullshit reviews for 'free money', most half smart people should realize that online reviews are all bullshit.

even movie critic reviews online like tgwtg website is all bullshit, cause it's all paid for work. Either for sites like tgwtg is ad based revenue and some product reviews from other contributors to crappy blog sites that get paid to write written reviews for products...

the biggest thing any sane person should know is do not trust ANY online review. most are paid for and most are bullshit

There really is no true "limit"

Just go here: http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html

create a "10 minute email account"

register multiple mega accounts and win :P

hell I had 8 different megaupload accounts and all premium due to running their "ad supported app" on an old linux box inside a virtual machine of winxp :P

on my seed box I use RuTorrent web front end, and Rapidleech web program, once a torrent finished it auto copied to the rapidleech upload folder then I'd click a drop down box megaupload/2shared/etc and put a checkbox in all the famous share sites back in the day and rapidleech would upload to all of them.

3 of my old mega's were for the Imagine group

but ill stop there -grin-

I use mailinator if I think I will need to contact a company down the road. If they want my address just so I can view a post in a forum or download a file, I use Ten Minute Mail. The email address lasts just long enough to receive a confirmation email and hit the confirmation link. After ten minutes it goes poof. Ten minute mail also rotates their domain regularly so they tend to stay in front of the sites that may block mailinator addresses.

The email lasts 10 minutes, you can request more time but then it auto deletes itself. I notice it changes domains almost daily to avoid blacklists.

I've used it for every forum I have ever signed up on.

In fact who has ever used their real email to sign into a porn site.

I use this.

All my Hotmail accounts are "throw-away". In an average week, I generate 5 or 10 Hotmail accounts for single use.

Why would you use Hotmail for that? 10 Minute Mail is much easier than signing up for a Hotmail account.

It's not like their server couldn't log the IP along with the anonymous comment. And what about services like 10minutemail, mailinator, or guerrila mail? I doubt hunting down someone by one of those email addresses would be any easier than just using whatever IP they posted under.

10 minute mail is your friend for disposable email accounts. Although the IP trace is still there if you don't do this via an Internet Cafe or some cafe wireless AP of your choice, it certainly continues to allow for mostly anonymous commenting to continue. Of course, there are downsides: more work, and a minority of registration systems are no longer quite as instant in sending their email.

I use 10 minute email when bugmenot fails.

"The only thing I use Yahoo for is a junk email account that I give away liberally when an email address is required."

i've started using the 10 minute email instead of yahoo for junk, works wonders :)

Or you can use 10minutemail to create an account yourself, and then post it on bugmenot.

Always ask yourself why they need it, and do you trust them to secure your information.

In Canada right now their are two separate credit card breaches under investigation. This isn't even a phishing thing, this is just plain old sloppy security.

I suspect that there are many other breaches that haven't been detected and or reported. So I strongly recommend that you refuse to give out personal information to these locations. Don't sign up for rewards cards, don't let them collect your address, and phone, and SSN, when you buy a t-shirt. They don't need it! And I don't trust them.

In that light, here are some handy tools for the justifiably paranoid:

1. TrueCrypt - Excellent free encryption app for most platforms (even Windows)
2. 10 Minute Mail - Free disposable email addresses
3. Private Phone - Free disposable phone numbers
4. MBNA Virtual Cards* - Virtual credit cards for online purchases that won't ruin your credit if stolen

Well, I do have a heart. I have been to business seminars and have lectured other employers about the evils of googling their employees. I was talking about the past when I talked about being hard pressed. You see, I go to networking events via meetup.com. The last 2 times I've included a 10 minute mini seminar on online defamation and the dangers of googling applicants.

My tools are a PDF file about Joe Applicant, and a projector.

Joe has all kinds of outrageous comments on USENET and MySpace and even drops some personally identifying things so you know which Joe this really is.

The audience, some of whom are actually employers, after about the 3rd or 4th page, all unanimously decide this guy shouldn't be hired.

Then the next shoe drops.

The next slide is John Doe and his anonymous remailers that he uses to post to USENET, and his use of http://boxofprox.com/ to view the web (MySpace included), and his http://myway.com/ or http://10minutemail.com/ account that he uses to register his MySpace account. They see the details of how he poses as Joe and says all kinds of plausibly crazy crap to make the guy unlikeable.

Unanimously unhireable quickly turns to unanimous "oops, we fucked up" and "WTF OMFG, can we somehow be sued for this somewhere down the line?"

One time one of these guys came back and told me he googled himself and found that someone had did something like this to him. The next seminar I will have him as a witness that this did in fact actually happen and that I'm not just scaremongering.

Now we're going to include youtube education, too.

I plan on taking this public service announcement nationwide, because while you and I feel these Grinches should be fired, the reality is, they rule corporate America. I know. I rub elbows with these people, which is why I started doing these 10 minute presentations.

I was curious as to how TMM stacked up against mailinator, my anonymous email of choice; mailinator has a time-limit of several hours, and its interface is slightly more elegant.
