Ask HN: Is there a surge of spam emails slipping past filters across providers?
2•Brajeshwar•1h ago
I’ve seen an uptick of SPAM across Migadu, Apple Mail, and Google. There seems to be something happening that many are escaping the Spam Filters.

Not currently, but I notice that when there is a site breach I get notified about, I get an uptick of new spam/fraud texts/calls shortly after for a few weeks. Could be that it's just your turn for the spam.

I've noticed the opposite. Over the last two weeks or so I'm seeing a higher false positive rate from the GMail filters. Email from a groups.io discussion that I've been subscribed to for years is suddenly getting tagged as spam. Not all from that source, but about 1%. I haven't noticed any uptick in correctly filtered spam.
