Reddit Sent Me an Email I've Never Registered.

submitted by [deleted] from self.MeanwhileOnReddit

Early this morning, I woke up to an email from Reddit. It was a new email address on an old account name which was banned some time ago. I have never used this email address on Reddit before, yet it's linked to an old account name. This tells me that Google is linked in some way to Reddit, or they're able to use Google's tracking tech. Creepy.

I never input email when regestering an account and always use a VPN.

I tried creating an account with TOR using TOR browser, but captchas kept constantlly coming up. You have to have an email to register.

I use chrome incognito and VPN, when you see the prompt to put email just click next then I use the list of names and the exact same password all the time. Tor even with VPN off is a pain to sign up a reddit account. Also chrome incognito and VPN does not show your real IP address or history as far as I know. I could do a video if that helps.

Any browser is going to have Vulnerabilities, like firefox Vulnerability can be used to run attacker code and install software, requiring no user interaction beyond normal browsing. And so on so the only real safe browser is unplug the internet.

Either way one has no privicy when connected to the internet, Micro$oft is selling your data so nothing new.

You actually don't need an e-mail address to register. Look it up.
