How Email Bombing Uses Spam to Hide an Attack.

If you suddenly start receiving an endless stream of junk email, perhaps asking for confirmation of a subscription, you’re the victim of email bombing. The perpetrator is probably trying to hide their real goal.

An email bombing is an attack on your inbox that involves sending massive amounts of messages to your address. Sometimes these messages are complete gibberish, but more often they’ll be confirmation emails for newsletters and subscriptions.  

 Why Is This Happening to You?

If you find yourself the victim of email bombing, the first thing to do is check and lock down your accounts. Log into any shopping accounts, like Amazon, and check for recent orders.  

You may want to take this a step further. On Amazon, it’s possible to “archive” orders and hide them from the normal order list.
