It must have been brute forced. I used to create aliases on gmail for different services - eg. [email protected] and it happens that alias is targeted by non-twitter mails.

In general in last year or two (wfh? hehe) I realised that I receive more and more spam for email addresses I don't share at all.

I've also created a small email-forwarding service [1] that I and few friends use for public sharing like conferences or sketchy services (of course I don't mean Amazon here ;) )

Or you could use the newly announced Bitwarden + Fastmail email alias integration.

It also works with 1Password. Neat stuff.
