Anyone else getting spam on icloud email?

I've recently begun getting spam to my iCloud email address. I would be less concerned about this if I had ever used my me.com or icloud.com address, but I havent. Its DrOz, promoting some health stuff... I've never had anything to do with them, and don't wish to start. I've sent the spam to junk, naturally, and hopefully all ensuing spams will go there.


Just curious if anyone else has received it/them. I've had more than one, but have just been deleting until today, when I took a closer look. The address it was sent to was "undisclosed@icloud.com" so I am assuming I'm not the only one, and some cleverdick has managed to breach icloud security.

Both my wife's account and mine accounts started getting these a couple weeks ago. I subscribe to the theory that something got hacked at Apple. One of our accounts is not used regularly for email and not linked at all to our other accounts. We are getting the spam email across all the accounts and not just our active email accounts.

Oddly, I have had none since those first 4. They were spread over 3 days but nothing since. I've checked junk and theres nothing in there, either. All I can suggest to you all is keep reporting it, and don't forget to go into icloud.com email and create filters to screen it out.
