My Sonic email accounts are NOWHERE "out there", but yet recently I am receiving SPAM on my main email (where I've NEVER received SPAM before). And not just SPAM, but a TON of SPAM - more SPAM than I've ever received on ANY email account. And no, I do not have any malware, etc., on my computer. I use Outlook 2016, and am entering header info (.xxx and IP addresses) into the "block" SPAM interface. This is getting ridiculous!! Anyone else having the same issue? What gives????
Have you ever used the account for sending email to anyone else? A current spammer trick is to get into others' web mail accounts and download the address books (including the addresses of people who've corresponded with the compromised accounts (even if not in the address books).
Spam comes and goes in waves. One of my email addresses, which I've had for a while and used only for occasional business correspondence, started receiving a bunch of spam of spam this month.
