How can I get spam emails from these senders to stop? They are in the junk folder, so rules don't work.

    Microsoft is preview. I stopped using MSN and Bing home page and spam from preview slows. When I go to Bing home page even with out clicking anything my spam from preview goes thru the roof. Report Microsoft to the FEDs like I did and forward all Preview junk email to the CEO of Microsoft, address is on the web wiki. Report Micro soft to the FEDS.

    This is an attack obviously targeted specifically at Outlook.com users and should not be overly complicated to stop by the engineering team.

    Since it doesn't look like anyone in charge is paying attention to this thread, would anyone know the right contact to reach out to on either the management or engineering side to share this thread an/or report this issue?

    Yes great points Josh. As I mentioned earlier being able to set a block filter of preview@*.* using wildcard characters for the domain would be a great solution.

    As someone who work MS Support when Windows 95 was released I can say that this kind of issue would have been resolved within a week. We live in a world of pay more and get nothing. The more this remains unresolved, the more upset users will get. To Microsoft, upset users leave and find alternatives.

    Hey it's my pleasure. Someone earlier on said that this was a "hack". It's really an exploit that Microsoft doesn't feel the need to fix. The sheer volume of emails coming from this hacking group speaks to that. I've got email accounts with other services that don't generate even 5% of the total phishing spam emails that I'm getting through Outlook. Btw I got the renew ones as well earlier on. I'm sure the prefix will change again sometime soon, if it hasn't already for some folks (like you've been reporting).

    I wish someone from the Microsoft community team would acknowledge this as an exploit and at least say that they're working on it. I notice they stopped communicating to this thread when it was clear that their solutions weren't working.
