I had an empty mail saying Good Morning in the subject today.
Generally it seems like a few more things can get through, compared to 10+ years ago. I'm thinking just bugs sneaking in the codebase over a long period of time.
I get plenty of Russian spam because I visited Russia and connected to the free wifi of the airport.
Apparently the list of people connecting to wifi (or someone who they're reselling their data to) is easily hackable.
Somehow they evaded Google for a long time.
For a period they were pretty successful with Google Drive / Google Calendar invitations containing spam, but Google blocked them - then I got a string of emails.
After a bit of flagging I stopped seeing them.
I also get some false positives flagged as spam so I started keeping my spam folder clean, so I can inspect what spam I receive and whether it's spam or just a service Google doesn't like.
I interact with people at Yandex and their emails often end up in spam, no idea why.
They're perfectly legit mails.
Some forums also are regularly ending up in spam.
- hammyhavoc 5y agoI get tons of Russian spam and have never been to Russia. Russia is quite literally the #1 source of spam globally: https://www.statista.com/statistics/263086/countries-of-origin-of-spam/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/263086/countries-of-orig... If you had used the Gmail '+' trick on the address you used, you could have proven whether this was the case. If so, stopping any more of it would also be as easy as setting up a filter to delete all inbound email to that '+' variation.
