This week many customers received notifications from their banks, hotel chains or stores alerting them that Epsilon (acquired by Alliance Data in 2004), one of the nations’ largest marketing services had been breached. Along with the names and email addresses that were compromised, came the possibility that the stolen data could be pieced together to create targeted phishing campaigns. Though no sensitive data was stolen, this could very well be the largest data breach in U.S. history.

How Cocoon Mailslots Can Protect Your Email Address

With mailslots, you no longer have to use your personal or business email to gain access to a website that requires registration. You do not have to give your real email address to your bank or department store either. You can also easily change a default email address that you initially created into a mailslot by editing your settings at the site that you registered at. You can conveniently delete mailslots if they  have become the playground of spammers or scammers.

With Cocoon mailslots, you have complete control to:

• edit mailslot nicknames
• activate/deactivate a mailslot
• ability to read, send, and delete messages from the mailslot
• permanently delete a mailslot (if the account gets spammed – never a problem with Cocoon, just delete the mailslot!)
