Ask HN: Recent uptick in spam emails and text messages?
2 by meken | 3 comments on Hacker News.
Has anyone noticed an uptick in spam emails and text messages the past few months? I’ve consistently been getting ~1-2 spam emails per day and ~1 bogus text message. The spam all seem to be imitating retail stores, offering some promo. I use gmail and iOS.
