The attacker isn't sending mail spoofed from the domain--they're intentionally signing up for legitimate newsletters from that domain using a ton of email accounts they control, then reporting those newsletters as spam in each email account.
- pc86 3y agoThis could be a pretty interesting use case for a botnet as well, compromise computers, compromise email accounts, for the sole purpose of selling the ability to mass-spam your competitors. Obviously immoral but simply from a technical standpoint I'm wondering if it would work and what scale you'd need for it to be effective.
