My Coinbase account got caught up in this and I'm so glad I used something like coinbase_jridi46@example.com as my email address with them because emails to that address can be treated as hostile in the wake of the breach. if I'd just used coinbase@example.com as my email address with them, I'd be fucked.

Why couldn't you treat coinbase@example.com as hostile?

because it's guessable. If I sign up with Coinbase@example.com, real Coinbase will send me legitimate emails to that address, as well as scammers, so I have to dig into the headers to make sure the email is or isn't forged.
