Now, the service has been enhanced with a new feature called <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT210425\">\u201cHide My Email.\u201d<\/a> This new feature is designed to protect users from phishing attacks or marketing spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E-mail clients now include automatic spam filters that put these messages in specific folders, but they aren\u2019t necessarily perfect. Spam e-mails can still reach inboxes, and oftentimes, important messages from previously unknown senders can get sent to spam accidentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to mention, capturing and selling e-mails is a <em>huge<\/em> business. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/my\/en\/pages\/risk\/articles\/91-percent-of-all-cyber-attacks-begin-with-a-phishing-email-to-an-unexpected-victim.html\">Phishing<\/a> e-mails hook many people who unknowingly provide personal information to fraudulent requests. During the global Coronavirus pandemic, phishing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.f5.com\/company\/news\/features\/phishing-attacks-soar-220--during-covid-19-peak-as-cybercriminal\">jumped 220 percent, according to F5 Labs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple even fell under attack, as several phishing e-mails were sent posing as officials from the technology giant. Now, Apple is fighting back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple users can now create single-use e-mail addresses to use in certain websites thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.applemust.com\/how-to-use-hide-my-email-in-icloud\/\">\u201cHide My Email\u201d program<\/a>. New e-mails are automatically made available in the user\u2019s primary e-mail inbox. They can also convert them to a single-use e-mail address to curtail spam messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other platforms are joining the fight against spam as well. 1Password is collaborating with Fastmail to introduce a feature called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastmail.com\/1password\/\">&#8220;Masked Email,&#8221;<\/a> which produces unique e-mail addresses for logins. Users can control all of the different addresses they create by enabling or disabling them. If users suspect their e-mail address is shared, sold, or sent spam, they can simply disable the e-mail altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloudfare is another company dedicated to ending e-mail spam and tightening security. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/en-gb\/press-releases\/2021\/cloudflare-takes-on-email-security\/\">\u201cCloudfare Email Routing and Email Security DNS Wizard\u201d<\/a> is&nbsp; designed to safely and securely protect users from phishing. Cloudfare is free and integrates with Gmail, Office 365, Exchange, Yahoo, and AOL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since these mega companies have introduced novel features to protect users from identity theft, phishing, and spam, other businesses will surely follow their lead. Look forward to Internet Service Providers, e-mail services, and platform providers doing the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Concerned about phishing or spam e-mails? We can help!
