I have recently started to receive a lot of lurid spam emails to the email address to which my VM account is registered. This rang an alarm bell for me because this email address is dedicated to my account only, and not used for any other email or login purpose. The address domain is a @ntlworld.com from my original account set-up 14+ years ago and until now has not received any incoming mail.
I noticed that the recent spam I have received has been cc'd to many other email addresses, and every one was @ntlworld.com.

I'm not with VM any longer, so my NTLworld email is defunct. However, my BTinternet address, retained since I was with BT, is also getting more SPAM than usual. Various filters normally stop all junk, but recently I have had a rash of Phishing emails get through. No such problems with my Gmail or Outlook address, although I use them less, so crooks and spammers may not have those addresses in their data base.
My guess is that spammers have deployed new technologies and the main email providers haven't found ways to block them yet.
