Hey folks, out of no where, my gmail inbox has started getting flooded with spam. Right now it's looking like a few spam emails per minute, totally overloading things.
It's a variety of emails in different languages (mostly European), mainly with them trying to subscribe me to random newsletters and/or doing gibberish "contact us" sort of forms.
How do I stop this? I've tried aggressively moving emails to spam for gmail. This helps (my spambox is already above 1500 after <12 hours) but a lot is still bleeding through.
Reading online, looks like this could be a DDoS attack trying to flood my inbox so I miss an important email? I've been monitoring my credit cards etc. and haven't seen anything yet but not sure what I can do to save my email address...
