iCloud Increased amounts of Spam

[tekfranz]

Anyone else seeing more Spam lately? I am getting about 5 messages per day and am moving them to junk, blocking the sender and forwarding them as attachments to abuse@icloud.com.
They are mainly targeted at Health, Vacation & Seniors. Nothing too terrible, but iCloud had done such a good job filtering Spam up until now. I hope the filters catch up with, or I might try Fastmail again.
iCloud still seems to be blocking the most obvious Spam, which I still consider a plus. Seems like they need to tweak some things again.

How long should I give it for my Spam filters to be retrained? Any other options other than switching to Fastmail or another Mail Provider?

I've definitely noticed a big increase in iCloud spam over the past few months!

Mine is from one or two sources: a "claim your Costco gift card" cluster, and fake Best Buy / Norton / McAffee order phishing schemes.

I forward them all to the abuse address, but I doubt that anyone's paying attention.

I thought maybe it has to do with a custom Domain, but it seems they are sent to my @icloud.com.

The spam filters are not keeping up pace with the efforts to bypass them, noticing more as well. Gmail has its faults but its spam filters are near perfect.

Try contacting your cell phone provider and telling them to block sms from emails
