Digital vultures are circling your email address, waiting to exploit your data.

In a shocking revelation about data privacy, your email address has become the new gold for digital predators. The music industry isn’t immune, as recent attacks on artist databases have shown. The time to protect your digital identity is now.

Last month at CCRMA, I witnessed firsthand how quickly email databases can be compromised. During a performance, our mailing list was targeted by bots, reminding me why I now use separate email addresses for my music projects and personal correspondence.

Safeguarding Your Email in the Music Industry

Hypebot’s latest industry connection guide emphasizes the critical importance of protecting your email address while staying connected. The growing Hypebot community offers multiple secure channels for industry updates, including LinkedIn, X, and Facebook.

The music business landscape demands strategic networking, but not at the cost of compromising your email security. Industry professionals now recommend using dedicated email addresses for different aspects of your career – one for fans, another for industry contacts, and a private one for close collaborators.

Bruce Houghton, Founder and Editor of Hypebot, suggests following industry news through curated platforms rather than subscribing with your primary email address. This approach has already helped countless artists maintain privacy while staying informed about breaking news, online events, and marketing trends.
