Between all the spam mails I receive there is a category of those that at least have their message's headers to match the message content, usually with an inquiry for some materials or a product catalogue from me as a potential vendor of something.
If that's not an initial step for some type of a scam or fraud, what'd be the point of that for a legitimate business to send requests to a random address collected over the Internet?

Brainworms.
Bier is wrong, at least about email. No one who does not work in the #spam control trenches appreciates how good the good tools are. GMail, MS365, and their ilk are nowhere near "state of the art" because they *cannot* be.
By every metric I have, spam getting through filters has been waning slightly over the past 2 years. Spammers are getting stupider, not smarter, because of LLMs.

Latest spam is annoying. I'm getting about a dozen a day of these MilfHookups. I think I must be popular as there seem to be quite a few people wanting to contact me.
lol. Email spammers have apparently converted from pushing “Mariott Hotels” bed sheets and pillows, to “Bed Bunny” sheets and pillows after the SuperBowl.

Acabo de recibir una llamada ofreciendo una oferta por parte de #Vodafone. Lo que es curioso es que tenían muchísima información sobre el contrato actual de mi operadora. Posible leak de información @movistar_es #spam #gdpr
Anyone else have co-workers marking the spam quarantine messages from Microsoft a spam? Thus it seems that some have the quarantine messages going to their Junk-email folder, and never get a chance to release false positives.
I use #Google Messages for #texting. It's not bad but its only solid features are the #spam blocking and the fact I can use it in a web browser. Oh, and #RCS (as questionable as that may be).
I'd really like to move away from it because, well....Google, but I haven't found a suitable replacement - either on Google Play or F-Droid.
Most #SMS apps are rather bare bones when it comes to features. I am looking for something better.
I am on my second try for Messages on F-Droid but it once again never finishes syncing messages. I deleted over 60 large old conversations and still it gets to about 2/3 done before restarting. I let it run overnight and it never finished.

Any recommendations?
The internet is quietly becoming a walled garden.
I recently created a QQ account and made this single post in the Off-topic -> General board. To my surprise, I got banned a couple hours later for "Spam." My post wasn’t commercial or anything; it was just a genuine discussion.
You have been banned for the following reason: Spam. Please contact the administrator if this was done in error.
I’ve always thought spamming involved sending unsolicited messages to multiple users, not a single thread. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Is this a common issue on QQ, or did I just have bad luck?
On top of that, after posting this on r/Fanfiction, it was removed by the moderators because r/Fanfiction is not the place to discuss real-life drama. Now I'm starting to think it’s less about that particular site and more about the internet as a whole. The internet is quietly becoming a walled garden. It’s not just about one platform anymore—it’s the pattern. You get banned for a single, harmless post. A subreddit removes your thread because it’s “real-life drama.” Cumulatively, it creates an environment where you hesitate before posting anything that isn’t perfectly sanitized.
Aktuell gibt es eine wirklich große Spam-Welle mit Mails, die angeblich von Hetzner kommen. Bitte nicht beachten und einfach löschen.
Prüfmögilchkeit: Bitte schaut ganz genau, welche Absendemailadresse angezeigt wird. Hier erkennt man schnell, dass diese nicht von Hetzner stammen.
Es gilt wie immer: Nichts anklicken! Nichts irgendwo eingeben!
Im Zweifelsfall anrufen und nachfragen, bevor angeklickt wird.

#Wikipedia is considering #blacklisting #Archivetoday after the archive site was used to direct a #DDoSattack against a blogger who tried to uncover the mysterious founder's identity. Wikipedia editors are debating removing all links and adding it to the #spam blacklist, which could affect over 695,000 links across 400,000 Wikipedia pages. The archive site is commonly used to #bypass news #paywalls and preserve web content. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-might-blacklist-archive-today-after-site-maintainer-ddosed-a-blog/?eicker.media #media #socialmedia
Da will man nur kurz ein paar Logfiles vom SSH Daemon auswerten und IPs sperren und zack... man schreibt seine eigene Firewall!
