Could you give a rough time period for when you set up their accounts and how old the accounts are now? Just trying to get an idea of if this is still happening

Could you give a rough time period for when you set up their accounts and how old the accounts are now? Just trying to get an idea of if this is still happening even now.
- hutzlibu 5y ago"Just trying to get an idea of if this is still happening even now." Do you think the spammers retired? I doubt it, there is only a shift towards trying to get more phone numbers instead of email.
- dvdkon 5y agoI get mere units of spam yearly both on my email and phone, and I don't really keep either secret. The weird thing is that I know someone whose work address gets lots of spam. Both our addresses are publicly available on the Web.
- xmprt 5y agoI figured that our phones would have had better security principles to prevent this from happening now but I guess I was mistaken.
- antifa 5y agoPhone OS software is pretty blantently negligent in this regard.
- aasasd 5y agoPretty much vast majority of apps in Play Store have permissions to see the contacts—they vacuum up the whole address book and sell it to companies doing correlation with data from other services. This only became worse as ‘big data’ was popularized and the value of this personal info dawned on more people.
