Email address exposure in spreadsheet

[shiming]

I very much agree with you. Now, my bounty email address has been exposed, and I receive a lot of spam in emails every day. This has a great impact on my personal life. I suggest that bounty hunters should pay more attention to the privacy of our bounty participants. Protect our information. This allows us to better participate in activities.

They more likely than not got messages from the Airdrop that It is sufficient to upset we all, in any event the Bounty Manager can hear this grumbling so all abundance members presently don't get Airdrop messages which may be very upsetting. Concur with the Bounty decides unmistakably demonstrated that at whatever point the Bounty Manager hands-over these records to the tasks proprietors they can sell out these messages or personalities to fire up undertakings consequently uncovering our ills or specials subtleties openly.

indeed, while participating in the bounty, we can be sure that there will be risks that we might receive because all the data is there and is clearly visible in the POA when registering, not to mention in a clear spreadsheet that many see to ascertain the stake we will get. but it all depends on our own to diligently delete all spam e-mails that enter our address. because there's no other way we can do it.

Or maybe we can use an email address that we don't use for interactions at work, because that's probably all we can do. but sometimes if the email address is not used often, if there is information that is important we are late to get the information.

New bounty managers are making these mistakes. I had this problem. After joining the bounty many offer links come to my email. At last , I sent a messages to the manager to hide the email row. Later I saw that he had hidden. In my opinion, it is the responsibility of every bounty manager to hide the email row.

Bounty managers please kindly start hiding emails in your spreadsheet because I always like using new email for bounty participation and I surprised that there are many offer mails in my email account, some are free airdrop some are affiliate marketing offers, I still remember that some people are selling email addresses online, it will be easier for such people to go through bounty spreadsheet and pack the whole email address

Even if bounty managers hide the emails it doesn't mean that the BM can't use the emails to his or her own advantages, they can use it to spam or for advertisement, some will even sell to those buying thousands of email address on the web, it's better to use separate email for bounties, that's the best advice

[Stedsm]

You can go for masked emails or disposable emails with a timeline of a year or two and use that specific email for bounty purposes alone and you're fine. Though, I agree with your initiative to start hiding email addresses of users because we definitely love our privacy and some users don't have time to even create a masked email and they simply give out their real email address in the form.

I think its obvious that you are always going to receive junk emails and promotions maybe even scams to email addresses that are available in a public spreadsheet. Its always safe to use a separate email for these purposes.
Also it would be better if bounty managers mask the email details .

the coin has incredible utility, everybody appear to be supportive of it extraordinary highlights which numerous individuals appear to appreciate and as of late we have the binancesmartchain that will be helpful for forthcoming devs particularly in occasions when the eth network is making individuals insane with high gas charges, eth has given bsc a chance even cz has recognize that.

Most bounty managers have hidden emails from campaign participants. some are not, but I don't think it's a problem when you always change your email to participate in the bounty.
but such situations can also be orchestrated by bounty managers who do sell the data in their spreadsheets to certain parties. we can't accuse all bounty managers like that. but I think some of them (bounty managers must have done it).

[gaston castano]

Maybe it's true that sometimes I get spam emails from people I don't know or subscribe to before. Maybe people who see our email in the spreadsheet take it and pass it on, but some managers also understand this problem and hide our email from the public.

- Blaming the bounty managers is definitely a mistake in this regard because when they became managers, they gained trust from the project but maybe they had little experience, so displaying email in the spreadsheet is a beginner's mistake, we can't complain about them, I also had private messages with a new manager about this and they immediately hidden the email address column. Bad guys just wait for these emails to show up and start sending spam messages, even links that steal accounts, the managers have also realized and the project is not asking for email right now

This is a good and bad idea!
Good idea in the sense that it promotes transparency and accountability by the campaign manager and also respects ones privacy which means you not exposed to phishing attempts or receiving spam for whatever product and service advertisement.

And this is also a bad idea as some bounty hunters can act in bad faith and enroll several accounts using the same email addy disadvantaging other users.

we sure do love transparency and that is one of the aim of blockchain to provide transparency but there must be a limitation .

 emails are too personal , they are like a phone number and if we dont want to share our phone number to prevent unwanted calls we do need to hide our emails too to prevent spam mails  .

And this is also a bad idea as some bounty hunters can act in bad faith and enroll several accounts using the same email addy disadvantaging other users.

they will get caught if they will use the same email because the manager will see it when they post thier application in the campaign thread or when ask for their email addreses via pm

[Argoo]

correct. The bounty manager should have hidden the participant's email in the spreadsheet who joined the prize campaign because it interferes with participants who receive an incoming email with various airdrop offers, affiliations, and so on, not only that, even with the email in the spreadsheet it makes it easier for others to hack on participant email especially if the email contains personal data.

Of course, hiding the email address in the table is necessary because hackers are very interested in our email. Personally, I've already had my email address hacked twice. We are all targeted by hackers because of our cryptocurrency business. In e-mail, many store passwords to forum accounts, wallets, platforms, exchanges, secret keys from wallets, and more. Therefore, I no longer store all this on my device.
Recently, the tables no longer indicate the email address, it is often not even required by the ICO teams themselves.

[DU18]

I personally usually use email which I really specialize in just following the bounty or airdrop and the email I use is not tied to a forum account, exchanger or anything personal, because I realize that every manager has its own policy to publish or not email participants bounty, because in this case we cannot protest so it is better to use a separate email address that is devoted to bounties or airdrops, because if you use a private email address, of course you will be very vulnerable and disturbed by the entry of spam messages and it is not possible to get messages that are contains a phishing link.

I think OP has indicated a very good point. There are some bounty managers who hide email addresses from spreadsheets and some do not. As a result, our email addresses are being added to Google Groups offering various promotions. As a result, we are constantly receiving emails with various offers, which is very annoying.

[ElaineGanda]

Is there any chance to breach an account with an email address only? I know some bounty managers who are willing to hide your email address and other information in spreadsheet as long as you will message them in telegram.

indeed, a lot of spam mails will come to our emails, if our email address exposure in the spreadsheet
and this is not good, because sometimes a phishing link will come to our email too

[Icologies]

I've been through the same thing got spam by email even though I have closed my email meeting but when I found out my email was taken from the bounty that I followed maybe this problem is quite simple if the bounty menanger asks for an email please don't show it on the spreen sheet so that the email of the bounty participants remains confidential

[bakasabo]

maybe the manager does that to avoid fraud and anticipates it but other people take advantage of it and take our email and then pass it on, actually if you get an email like an airdrop or information about other crypto it really helps, the problem is if someone sends a scam or fraudulent email to people new to crypto

Do you really think that projects, that wants to do a promotion by airdrops, buys email data bases to make a mailing? Since I've flashed my email in bounties/spreadsheets, I do start to receive airdrop related emails. But they are all filled with referral links. And most of them look like an obvious spam. Even if I receive such "emailed" airdrop, its value would be around $1, and I would spend more withdrawing it. I always skip such emails, because completing airdrop tasks from them will only make someone richer, but definitely not me.
