@TuutW : zoals ik eerder schreef: blokkeren heeft nauwelijks tot geen zin. De meeste spammers gebruiken gehackte e-mailadressen of beschikken over een mailserver met een steeds wijzigende domeinnaam en/of wijzigend IP-adres.
Technisch: zij zorgen er tevens voor dat zaken als SPF, DKIM en DMARC correct zijn geconfigureerd. Veel mensen denken dat dit antispam-maatregelen zijn, maar dat is onjuist. Als al die mechanismes correct zijn opgezet, verzekert die combinatie dat een e-mail met als SMTP afzender:
daadwerkelijk is verzonden door een mailserver die e-mail mag verzenden namens "example.com".
Voorbeelden van afzenders van recente phishingmails die ik ontving in het plaatje hieronder.
Een m.i. groot probleem is dat e-mail-apps op smartphones (vanwege de beperkte ruimte op het scherm) het SMTP-adres niet tonen (vaak zijn er meerdere kliks nodig om het SMTP-adres te zien te krijgen). De meeste mensen doen dat niet.
Ik probeer straks nog een vervolg-antwoord te schrijven over gratis domeinnamen eindigend op (onder veel meer):
.ns01.info
Het zou mij niet verbazen als er elke dag meer dan 1 miljoen unieke domeinnamen worden gehuurd (nieuw of opnieuw in gebruik genomen).

Emma from NC Roofing is the new Rachel of Card Services.
I flushed out the identity of one of these criminals and left a sizzling one-star review. They lied in the response.
Of course it was a Christian-owned business with US flags all over the website.

My biggest political regret of all time is using Act Blue to make donations.
The endless text and email spam generated by that decision is literally unstoppable.
There's no universal opt out option available, and they claim zero responsibility for the actions of any entity that uses the data their platform provides to its users.
This should be illegal in all contexts, but data brokers are immune from all consequences.
Act Blue is a data broker, über alles
DO NOT USE THEM

I had an influx of #newmembers to my #instance overnight.
All were from #Romania & shared the same IP addy.
All used the same email server.
Suspicious much?
#admins check your new members to see if they’re legit or #spammers or #RussianBots. -
"To be clear, I am not really interested in criticizing any one individual here. In the absence of stronger rules on Instagram, this just comes down to a question of ethics. I am free to believe that what FutureRiderUS is doing is not ethical; they are free to disagree, or at least pretend to.
But neither of our opinions matter, because of two facts: fake AI slop is profitable, and there are countless users doing the same thing. There’s absolutely nothing to stop them.
That is: the Instagram platform doesn’t just enable this behavior, it rewards it. So do other platforms. On Instagram and TikTok, FutureRiderUS’s top hits are from fake LA fires; on YouTube, it’s three-hour long Christmas music compilations with slop visuals of families shopping. None are clearly labeled. Disaster porn is just another kind of #content.
It doesn’t really matter what that content is: as long as it is ‘content that grabs attention,’ both sides can make money.
For the slop creator and the platform, this is a clear win-win, at least in the short term. The only loser here is the audience, who is unable to recognize slop when they see it.
There’s this thing that AI proponents like to say every time something new comes out: this is the worst it'll ever be. So far, they've been right, and they may well continue to be right. It’s hard to predict what happens next with AI, but I have one prediction I feel fairly comfortable making: unaided, most of us will always struggle to reliably recognize AI when we see it.
But it’s hard to blame us when two sides are conspiring against us: Instagram’s interface makes it almost impossible to tell, and creators are incentivized to lie by omission."

Please note: even though I despise #spammers and truly believe that spamming demonstrates a fundamental ethical gap which is probably not fillable, I expect to be voting for the 2 #MIDEMS who have spammed my phone in the general election. Maybe even in primaries. BECAUSE POLITICS IS NOT PROPERLY ABOUT MESSIAHS.
Christina Hines and Mallory McMorrow aren't good people. They're politicians, so this was known. They are spammers, which is a norm these days for politicians.

This latest wave of spam here on Mastodon is seriously getting to be very frustrating to say the least.
I woke up and took a look at Mastodon about 45 minutes ago and I had to start my day by reporting 19 spam posts.
It's the same spam that's been going around for a week or so now that mass mentions people.

En nosotros está la desición de detener el #spam y mantener limpias las redes y los correos libres de este cáncer.
#spambots #spammers #SpamAttack #SpamEmail -
Looks like the #scam #spammers are at it again today. The target are people living in #Italia on the lookout for email from the country's #tax agency, the Agenzia delle #Entrate.
The messages flooded in all day linking to alphabet-soup subdomains of the domain page[.]link, leading to geofenced webpages that were #phishing for banking information from people in Italy who click the links.
(If you were using an IP address not linked to #Italy, you ended up on a blank page.)
The attack was apparently so vigorous, it caused a DDoS on the Agencia delle Entrate's website. Prestiamo attenzione!
More information about the attack (in Italian) from Red Hot Cyber https://www.redhotcyber.com/post/lagenzia-delle-entrate-utilizzata-per-una-vasta-campagna-di-phishing-prestiamo-attenzione/
