Always use a hidden email service, you cannot trust the LLM or inference provider to secure the email address in this context. If they don’t have the email address, they can’t leak it.

I never give a provider my actual email address, I recommend others do the same. Otherwise, it’s just a matter of time until it is leaked or otherwise part of a data breach.

If you let the LLM see git commands, they have whatever email you use to sign commits.

I am a security person, I don’t let the LLM see anything except that which I wouldn’t mind printed on the front page of the New York Times. I treat my LLM context as I would a potentially malicious threat actor. Nothing valuable, sensitive, or personal goes into the context.

“lethal trifecta”
