iCloud iCloud Spam Emails

[Maclver]

Has anyone noticed a massive increase in spam emails the last couple of days? Normally I get about 5 a week, but today alone I got 18 junk emails.

Nope, but I use Hide My Email everywhere.

Spam? I haven't noticed spam. But I do know the emails I get from retailers went from a normal 7 a day to over 40 in the last 24 hours, continuing to pour in. All were legitimate company emails begging me to spend my non-existent $ at their stores. Definitely seems like more than previous years.

You aren't alone, I've been experiencing the same thing for around 2 days.

Yea but do they mean those or the scammy ones with the obvious scam subjects and a body that looks like it was written by a kindergartener?

Some how my main iCloud email address has been pick up by spammers. I never use my main email address and now I am getting a couple of hundred spam emails daily. I need to find a solution or I'm gonna have to switch email services.

Same problem here. Never used to get spam now I have 172 this morning alone, after deleting them all last night. At least they go in the spam folder but they are so obviously spam I wish Apple would just block them.

This is my biggest fear. I do not get any spam right now but I would hope Apple would do what the others do and at least block them from coming in.

I've been fairly happy with iCloud email but I don't get spam (yet). I feel this would drive me to go back to FastMail or some other more common provider.
