UNSUBSCRIBE spam that clones quickly

Hello

For a few days now I’ve been receiving spam-type emails with the message “unsubscribe” in my Hotmail mailbox. For your information I have a blog that is linked to two different addresses, Gmail and Hotmail. My Gmail account has never received any kind of spam email with the message unsubscribe.

These mails are very annoying. I’ll give you an example of the emails I’ve been receiving recently: I received an email titled “unsubscribe 0cjkaram5f6@koreantranslator”.

This same email was duplicated at least 400 times in my Hotmail inbox. I didn’t know the origin of this email or the sender. To my knowledge my friends have not received an unsubscribe email from me.

Of course I blocked them but that doesn’t prevent my Hotmail from receiving other “unsubscribe” emails that were cloned 300-400 times within twenty minutes.

I don’t know what mistake I made or which bad site I visited.

Is it a virus?
What should I do?
Thank you in advance for your help

    Hello,
    these are spam and no one can stop spam any more than you can prevent someone from sending you emails; you can unsubscribe if the option exists in the email, otherwise you just have to wait for it to calm down or report it https://www.signal-spam.fr/

      Hello,

      Alternatively, there is also a way to create a rule in Outlook/Hotmail to redirect these messages to the junk or deleted items folder and stop worrying about them.
