Or in other words is my new #showerthought suspicion that some computers in business or organisation offices are unintentionally part of spam botnets valid or not ?

    I can’t remember the last time I got a spam email honestly. I changed my address like 5+ years ago and it just stopped and never resumed. It’s not the email provider filtering them either, the only thing it catches are legitimate but automated messages.

      I have a less than 1 year old email address that is publicly listed as the support email for my company, and it gets spam (that don’t get through the email screener, but they’re still received).

      I think it’s a matter of how publicly known your email address is.
