Hunter.io indexing your proton.me domain

[ghost]

Hello! Service hunter.io indexes proton.me domain (screenshot 1), when the domain protonmail.com is excluded from the search because of that is a personal email creating service (screenshot 2).

Please contact the hunter.io team with a request to exclude your domains from the search as well. They exclude all domains that are using to create personal addresses (but they need an official request).

Thanks for the heads up--I've sent them an email.

[Deuchnord]

Just found this issue, it looks like my domain name-specific email address is in their list too. Do I need to contact them myself?

[bartbutler]

I don't know. I haven't received a response from them.

[AmrithVengalath]

I would like to mention it also indexes protonmail.ch domain

Giovanni here from Hunter - thanks for your report.

The domains have been added to our webmail list and emails will no longer be provided or collected for them:

Hi @gglepori ,

Thanks for the reply. Can you please ensure that none of protonmail.ch, protonmail.com, pm.me, and proton.me? This is a complete list of our current user domains.

Thanks!

Hello @gglepori! Thank you for your measures.

But there is some more domains that had not been removed from your search.

There is a service of mail aliases simplelogin.io, which generates a full e-mail address, which works, roughly speaking, as a bridge between the real address and the sender, thereby hiding the real e-mail recipient.

This service is also intended for personal use and publishing its addresses in your search results may entail serious risks to users' privacy and security.

It is also important to note that SimpleLogin is also owned by Proton.

Proof one. Proof two.

Here's a list of SimpleLogin domains that should also be excluded from your search:

simplelogin.com
simplelogin.fr
aleeas.com
slmail.me
8shield.net
dralias.com

Please remove them from your search.

Here is a link to the original issue in the SimpleLogin repository. And here is a link to their official discussion of the issue.

All the domains you reported have been successfully added to our webmail domains list. We no longer provide emails for them.

Thanks again for taking the time to report this to us 🙏

Thank you for your cooperation:)

Dear @gglepori they launched a Proton Pass and added next domains:

@passinbox.com @passfwd.com

Please remove them too :)

Proof:

[AmrithVengalath]

I'm wondering why can't proton use existing domains like apple use(hide my email - something@icloud.com, something@privaterelay.apple.com)

Is there actually any benefit?

[bartbutler]

Risk reduction. Nobody is going to block signups for icloud.com, they are too big. We are not "too big to block" so having multiple domains A) protects the non-alias domains B) gives users more options in case sites decide to block domains.

But I agree, it would be better to be able to use alias.proton.me or the like.

[gglepori]

Thanks for the report. We've added them to our webmail list.

Dear @gglepori, Sorry for bothering you again but they had added new two domains again.

Here is the proof:

Please exclude following domains: @passmail.com @passmail.net

[gglepori]

All set 👍 Thanks for sharing the domains.
