Junk Emails Suddenly going to Inbox Feb 2023

Hi, I had my hotmail account for over 20 years and I never had an issue like this. As of this morning at 4am ALL of my junk emails are going to my inbox. No settings have been amended.

Since I've had this account for many years every 5 minutes I receive a junk in my inbox. Ive searched for a solution online but all I can see is for outlook and not outlook/hotmail 365. I've tried everything at this point, from rules to flagging wit no help. Has anyone experienced the same? Microsoft doesnt seem to have a customer service team to help?

Many thanks

    In the past 10 days, it has suddenly gone totally out of control.

    I have received over 700 spam emails today in my inbox - not in my Junk folder.

    Most are duplicates or triplicates of each other, which come in a minute apart.

    This is very hard to deal with, since legitimate emails are hidden in the middle of this massive mess, and I need to root them out.

    They must know that something of this magnitude has broken their system??

    I presume you are using the filters found at the bottom of your junk mail settings which will ensure that only emails from your safe senders list etc will be accepted into your inbox?
