Identity leak prevention

A computing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory and configured to,
• receive a message from a sender to a recipient via a software application running on the computing device, the software application having a non-confidential messaging view and a confidential messaging view;
• determine a message type of the message, the message type is one of a non-confidential message or a confidential message, the message type is included with the message;
• and
• display the message in the confidential messaging view of the software application in response to a determination that the message type indicates a confidential message such that messaging participant identity information is obfuscated in the display of the message in the confidential messaging view, the obfuscation causes the messaging participant identity information to be partially hidden in the display of the message in the confidential messaging view, wherein the confidential messaging view is distinct from the non-confidential messaging view.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, a message via a software application running on the computing device, the message including an indication of a message type, the message type is one of a non-confidential message or a confidential message;
• responsive to a determination, by the computing device, that the message is a non-confidential message, displaying the message in a non-confidential messaging view of the software application such that messaging participant identity information is viewable;
• and
• responsive to a determination, by the computing device, that the message is a confidential message, displaying the message in a confidential messaging view of the software application such that messaging participant identity information is obfuscated, the obfuscation causing the messaging participant identity information to be partially hidden in the display of the message in the confidential messaging view.
