Has anyone else noticed a huge increase in the amount of spam they get in their iCloud email addresses?

I’ve seen a skyrocketing in spam that began around the end of December I think. Maybe January. I’m also seeing a ton of text spam that knows my full name and even address. Some of them are scummy “you have a delivery fee owing” clickbait links. I got one today that references Apple as the sender.

I thought maybe someone that I used Apple Pay with got hacked as Apple shares your email, address and phone number.

Even got my CC compromised and had to cancel it and reverse a few charges.

Now I’m wondering if it’s not Apple that got hacked and has kept it quiet.

Regardless some database did get owned recently that’s for sure because I never get spam (super diligent about that).
