Email obfuscation: What works in 2026?
bit1993: Good stuff, but I think the title should be Email address obfuscation. Thank you for sharing I guess, but spammers can now learn from this too (:
_ache_: I'm sorry, but that is not how email address are spammed in bulk.The data-source are the enormous data breach that are more and more frequent. There is more intensive to collect more information on someone you already know something about than spamming an email you don't even know if it's a valid one.The spam can also be very more effective as it present itself with personal information about the spammed.
gfody: I filter everything that does NOT include “+asdf” in the to:
curiousObject: The OP put those addresses on that web page, and only on that web page. Some addresses received spam.
dandersch: Very interesting. It seems for his own email the author has opted for a combination of the CSS display none technique and a XOR cipher: <span class="hidden email"><b>999a8f84898f98</b>aa<b>878b8386c4</b>999a8f84898f988785989e8f84998f84c4898587</span>
