Everyday I am getting the same couple of pieces of spam email in my hotmail inbox, spam that usually goes to my spam/junk mail box. While most of the spam mail still goes to right box, these couple get through to my inbox. Several months ago all my spam went to my inbox for 4-5 days, maybe 3-350 spam mails a day in my inbox. At the time I noticed many others complaining of the same problem. Microsoft (or someone) was able to stop it last time. I hope someone can stop it this time before all my spam ends up in my inbox. I should add that I use an iPad, not a laptop or computer.

I found something.
The other day this week I received an email from Chase that alerted me my hotmail account was exposed to the Dark Web.
That's one of the possibilities that why the junk spams seems to be non-stop.
On the other hand, don't waste your money to upgrade to the Premium as I was skeptical about upgrading my account for the "Advanced" Feature of Spam defense. I am wrong so badly after paying $$$ to remove the ad and activate the so-called advanced security, it is just nuts..
I wanted to chime in on this and offer some help. I have been receiving loads of spam in my inbox since around Feb 2023. I have had my hotmail account for decades and it has never been this bad. I just found last night that I had a bunch of garbage setup in my "subscriptions" section in the email settings. You may want to check this out and remove anything and everything that is not familiar. I had quite a bit of garbage in there and I have no idea how it got added.
Closing hotmail account mailbox may be the only solution.
Thanks you Microsoft
I absolutely agree. I have to change alllllllll my accounts.
Thank you too Microsoft.
I have tried blocking the domain and I tried blocking the email and nothing works. I tried reporting as phishing and it still continues. It will be the same subject name from 20 different domains. I was advised it is happening because out emails have been exposed on the blackweb somehow.
I am at my wits end with this one 30 emails a week from this alone.
I thought this was just me! I've had my hotmail account for years but have lately noticed that the blocked sender option isn't even an option most of the time anymore and it's driving me crazy.
The only advise I can find is to type the email addresses into the junk part of settings but how long will this take and I've also noticed that I can't get the full email address on my laptop so that's that answer out.
Microsoft you really need to sort this out!!
