So it's not just us seeing a huge influx of Spam from Google lately ?
And I'm not talking Google Cloud vm's IP space, but rather legitimate
Google Workspace accounts, and tons of @gmail



 



besides the Docu-sign stuff there's an endless variety of 1-2
paragraph messages offering everything under the sun. 

To somewhat mirror what Jay has said, apparently these messages are
properly filtered as Spam by Google towards their own customers, but
they have no qualms in letting them leave their network for the rest
of the world to deal with it. We have been slowly increasing our bias
towards filtering Google IPs - blocking is still too much at this
point.

This is not strictly true - I was at the AWS Summit in Zürich about
one
week ago and had the opportunity to talk to the person responsible for
ISP contacts @ Cloudflare.

Their Abuse Desk is located in the US and they are US minded:

* We don't care what our customer does as long as he is paying and as
  long as no CP is involved.
* As long as we are not being forced by authorities to shut down a
  customer, it is our duty to protect our customer’s services form
  DOS attacks - it's not up to us to assess if our customer is
possibly
  operating a phishing site and claiming to be some other company,
it's
  up to the authorities to contact us so victims have to file a
  complaint with the authorities.

But this is not the mindset of the Cloudflare branch offices in
Switzerland or Europe. They have a different mindset and very well see
it as their responsibility to keep fraud out of their network.

Recommendation of the Cloudflare Switzerland guy: In more serious
cases, don't report them to the official abuse desk in the US. Try to
report them with the local Cloudflare branch in the country which is
targeted by the fraud, in cases you work for an ISP, ask for the
person
in your country offering protections services to ISP, this very well
might lead to a swifter reaction by Cloudflare.
