I still have my aol email account and my kids are embarrassed for me but I really couldn’t care less. The other day a kid doing some work for me had never heard of aol. What’s that? he said. That’s a new one. Never heard of it. 🤣

LOL Yeah a good number are now in that never heard of it category which gives it a mystery aura to it.

I don’t know all that much about hacking, but it is my understanding that when hackers look at compromised data, zip codes matter a lot in that the hackers understand which codes reflect affluence.

To expand that thinking, the old email addresses may not bring attention to those looking to hack emails.

Having an AOL address might be the next best thing to living off the grid so to speak.
