Phishing Spam

A week ago, my Yahoo email account became inundated with phishing spam messages.

I accessed the raw messages. Most of the spams had a X-Originating-Ip assigned to Microsoft. So I sent an email message to ab...@Microsoft.com describing my experience.

In response, I received a message saying:
“Based on the information you provided, it appears to have originated from
an Office 365 or Exchange Online tenant account.
To report junk mail from Office 365 tenants, send an email to
ju...@office365.microsoft.com
and include the junk mail as an attachment.”

So I did that.

For a few days, the torrent seemed to be reducing. But then the stream of trash increased again.

How can I free myself of this plague?

What’s an Office 365 tenant anyhow? Is that a realm where a Microsoft customer is in charge, rather than Microsoft itself?

Does somebody know of a contact in Microsoft that can help?

Is there a contact in Yahoo that can help?

Any fruitful lead is appreciated.

Thanks,
jei

It's been 40 days and 40 nights.

The deluge continues unabated.

Surely, somebody out there can suggest some way to approach this issue!

I can see the Wikipedia article, but how do I access the actual newsgroup?

Google Groups for some reason banned the group:

<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.net-abuse.email>

However, you can access it on NovaBBS:

<https://www.novabbs.com/computers/thread.php?group=news.admin.net-abuse.email>

Alternatively, you can use actual Usenet server with actual client.
