Many unknown source emails being sent to my email

Question

I am suddenly receiving a huge number of emails from senders I do not know

Answer 1

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

Are these spam emails showing up in your Inbox, or are they already going into Junk Email? That helps me figure out what’s happening on your end.

If they’re landing in your Inbox, here’s something you can do to start blocking them:

• At the top of your Outlook page, select Settings.
• Choose Mail > Junk email.
• Under Blocked senders and domains, select Add blocked sender.
• Enter the email address you want to block. If you want to block an entire domain (for example, everything from @spamdomain.com), you can enter the domain name instead.
• Select OK, then Save.

For more, please see "Filter junk email and spam in Outlook" https://support.microsoft.com/office/filter-junk-email-and-spam-in-outlook-db786e79-54e2-40cc-904f-d89d57b7f41d

You can also change the level of protection in the Junk Email Filter in Outlook: https://support.microsoft.com/office/change-the-level-of-protection-in-the-junk-email-filter-in-outlook-e89c12d8-9d61-4320-8c57-d982c8d52f6b

Also, did this start suddenly today, or has it been happening for a while? A sudden wave like this can sometimes mean your email was exposed somewhere.
