@suddenlinkmail.com emails appear in my @icloud.com account!

See this thread to set a rule at the iCloud Mail server lever to send these messages straight to trash.

I'm getting mail addressed to ...@suddenl… - Apple Community

Also, if you look at the full header of those messages, you might see your real email address. :-(

Hi Craig, You are lucky if the spammers don't have your real email address. With sufficient training, SpamSieve should be able to catch all those and send them to the Junk folder. But, that represents another problem - how to wade through all that Junk to find any possible false positives (good messages). That's why I got started looking deeper into this.

I won't contradict Apple Support, but - - -

You can use a Rule on the Server (iCloud Mail via a web browser) to create a Rule that will move every message addressed TO random . . .@suddenlinkmail addresses either to Trash or another Folder you create.

See my most recent post on this.

So, I can't understand why a Rule moving messages where FROM contains "suddenlinkmail.com" (with random prefixes) couldn't be handled the same way. But maybe that's a limitation of Server rules.

Im concerned this is a major security issue involving Apple Software because the problem started around the same time AT&T had a wide spread network outage. At&t has been my wireless provider for 17 years and and for the past 13, I used my Apple ID for logging into personal apple accounts, ONLY.

The probability that this is a sophisticated cyber attack on wireless providers involving Suddenlink and Apple.

I might be wrong, but Im not buying into the “you clicked on this or “subscribed to that” or “its the dark web” bs. I’ve had enough of the hostility between big tech corps playing “school yard games” with consumers money and 300 pages of ARTIFICIAL ARBITRARY Laws. I did not signup for a CyberWorld War. I do not consent to nor agree with the sale of my personal “data”, technology experiences, ownership of such including my privacy rights, privileges and enjoyment, to or by a party, corporation or individual that is not myself or next of kin, for any purposes or reasons.

CraigHT,

I recall the day when the iOS app “mark as spam” feature became “move to junk” and gone were the days “->Edit -> select->move to spam folder” provided protection from phishing threats. I fretted them malicious senders could receive a pick back of an active email domain.

Now, I spend a lot of time daily,

forwarding phishing emails, reporting scam texts, blocking and reporting phone numbers to the companies I trusted to provide me with reliable, safe and easy to use telecommunication products and services.

it’s wrong to conceal important information from consumers, absolving all responsibility from harm a “third party” partnership might do, but worse than equivocation are the fraudulent ways these corporations take hard earned American dollars and sell it to investors in “cloud” form.

I hope we see Apple respond quickly along with many other tech pioneers and The US General Services Administration.

At any rate, spamming Apple users by spoofing active emails is genius and kinda funny.

Take Care,

😊

I also receive these messages.
