This happened to me several years ago. I got signed up to probably 700 newsletters overnight. In the middle of all of the sign ups there was activity on my airbnb account where my notification settings were changed. when i checked my airbnb i noticed that someone had created a fake listing under my account and disabled booking notifications for it. a real multi-layer scam where the hacker would be making money off a fake listing on someone else's account who would probably never even realize it.

How did they access your Airbnb account?

I’d be probably safe against this because I have an email filter set so anything with an unsubscribe link gets moved to spam.

Account notification emails don’t have unsubscribes while pretty much all junk does.

I receive a bunch of transactional emails with an unsubscribe button at the bottom. Unsubscribing of course does nothing to stop the transactional emails but the last thing I want is them to go to spams.
