Yesterday's event with the publication of personal data leaked from Yandex.Eda reminded us of the basic rules for providing information to online services (especially those related to offline):

1. Never reveal your real name. It's better to have a different name for each service, in this case, you can identify where the leak occurred when you receive a call from scammers "Hello, Thurman Merman".

2. All orders should be placed with a separate phone number. In general, it's very convenient to have different numbers for "your close ones" and for everything else. The best example is when you register as a sole proprietor. From the first day, every new sole proprietor in Russia is flooded with calls from all banks offering account services. Ideally, of course, you can have different numbers for different occasions, but you can't have enough burner phones.

3. Don't use payment cards with an unlimited balance for online orders.
