Overwhelmed with Spam in the last three days!
Wow, what is going on? In the last three days, I have gotten over 70 spam emails, some purporting to come from me! Bad spelling, phony gift cards, **bleep** enhancement, sexual positions, you name ...

Only 70?
Chances are you've used your email to sign up for something and they've sold their email list, you've posted it somewhere on an open message board and it was scraped, or it was obtained by some other means.
Sometimes all of the spam sources go into overdrive, and they have been ramping up for about a week now, but nothing like the zombie spam storm at the end of July/beginning of August.
I can tell you that the majority of it is coming from unsecured servers in China, Vietnam, Brazil (Claro), Russia (lucky.net), Germany (MyLoc) and the US (Nexeon Tech, Eonix, Interserver). Blocking anything coming from those IP groups kills about 90% of it. The rest (mostly the drug and sex ones) come from people with infected phones and computers that are spamming unbeknownst to them upon command, hence the term 'zombie spam'.
NO we do not need to sign up for these spammers that Hughesnet is making money from. Hughesnet is the ones that have given out our email addresses to these spammers and Hughesnet has knowingly and willfully allowed these spam emails to go to their customers and when you complain about it they only threaten you with cutting off your internet and also harass you to send them the spam emails which they can see in your email box which they had put there to begin with.
