With data breaches becoming an everyday occurrence in today’s worrying cybersecurity landscape, there’s no such thing as “too cautious” when it comes to how you do what you do online. One of the best ways to keep your personal data private and away from the hands of malicious actors is to use an online persona different from your real one.
Surfshark, one of the best VPN services, offers a product called Alternative ID that does exactly that, giving users an alternative fictitious identity and email address and keeping their true identity under wraps. This can protect you from giving away your real details for one-time signups while also safeguarding you against spam and phishing emails.
