I’ve had Gmail for years, since it was still invite only even, and never had any problems with spam.
Except for the last month I’ve been getting so much spam, anyone else experiencing the same?
Did they switch their spam filter over to Gemini or something?
Btw I’m trying to degoogle and am mostly off Gmail, but have to use it for some stuff, since someone would definitely tell me.
I’ve noticed an uptick as well. This isn’t the first time it’s happened over the years, though. Spam is a cat-and-mouse game. Every now and then spammers learn how to break through, and it takes some time for Google to adapt.
I’ve been surprised by the latest wave, because it’s so obviously spam. Mostly phishing attempts full of misspellings and even numbers in place of letters, like F1del1ty instead of Fidelity. Should be pretty easy to filter.
