I'm not denying that it happens.
I'm saying that it not the classical way to spam people nowadays.
replyIt's obvious to any non native english speaker, when you have a spam in english, it is because they toke the email from the web. When it's in you native language, it's usually from a data breach.
I'm vastly more spammed by the later. I can confirm it with unique email addresses of the "+" form (but not with the + character).
Also when I'm spammed in english, it's for Web3 crypto stuff and from a data breach it's a phishing attempt.
I’ve run a small thingy last year, on its own domain, with a (project-specific) email in plaintext on the homepage. I’ve got a fair bit of spam to that address.
replyBut yeah, I’d say most junk mail is coming to (1) an address leaked from one Russian bank (!) I used, (2) the address listed in public business databases (I have a company in Estonia).
