My Outlook inbox is suddenly getting a ton of spam and I don't know how to stop it

Last week, my personal Outlook email started getting ~50 spam emails per day. I barely ever use this email address, so I am not sure how or why this began to happen. How can I stop all of this spam from getting to my inbox?

I have been flagging all of the emails as spam, but it doesn't seem to be stopping the influx of emails I am getting.

    Lots of other users are in the same position....unless we all start to discuss the ways and means of a class action MS will do nothing about it....if your considering joining a class action the following link will give you some idea of what to expect: https://www.slatergordon.com.au/class-actions/what-to-expect

    Does any one have any email addresses for Microsoft so I can forward all of my spam, so they can get a taste of what we are enduring. Maybe they might take action then.

    If you contact them through the chat, you will get a response from someone and the email address will then be known. Bit loathed to give the email address I have as it may be against some policy, and seeing as my business email address is through MS, and I use 365, I could be blacklisted...
