Ask HN: Are you also getting extremely obvious spam bypassing Gmail's filters?

For the past weeks I've been receiving emails that are pretty obviously spam. Here's one I just got:

sender: Динасий Колпаков subject: Q7425 7235 F0 8741 (empty body)

They all have similar formats, with a .htm attached file with ridiculous names like "Elon secret invitation" or "how to get free bitcoin".

They are all look like 90's era spam. Yet not only aren't they caught in the spam filter, they arrive to my main inbox, they aren't even classified as promotions or anything.

I can also see a long CC list, since it's not hidden.

Are any of you also having a similar problem?

+1 I have the same issue, receiving similar emails every day with iOS notification

Well that's good to hear, I can't find any mention about this problem anywhere and I was starting to think that I was being specifically targeted.

Except for the last one, all the calls to action seem to be crypto related, but I don't know if that's relevant to the origin of this attack. Perhaps it's just the most successful way of getting clicks nowadays (?).

It's baffling that google are letting these ones slip. Even marking some as spam does nothing to prevent new ones from coming.

Yep. This has happened a few times over the years and always seems to resolve after a while. I guess in the eternal game of cat and mouse in the world of spammers, sometimes the mouse gets the cheese.

Have gotten multiple such emails the last couple of weeks.

I think Googles spam detection is a bit too much lax when the sender itself is using gmail.

These might as well be hacked accounts which have already proven themselves to be valid and "human" at a previous point in time? I doubt gmails spam detection would let a brand new account spam CC'd emails without any sort of detection.
