What is your definition of "Operation" because my threat-model is probably not your threat model.

But in the past, not doing crimes, gave crazy good results.

I guess if you care about being security you are a fed now? I smell alphabet soup.
Not air tight, not truly “OpSec,” but people do call me crazy for having a separate e-mail for every service. This has caught three leaks so far–if you receive spam you immediately know which service got pwned. If that happens I delete the e-mail and move on. Takes some effort, but is worth it in my opinion.
It can be handy to do this if you have a custom domain for your email and allow for wildcard addresses…
