All 13,000 employees of NOAA are receiving spam emails (old.reddit.com)

wait, isn't, like, everyone getting spam emails these days?

I definitely have hundreds of daily spam mails in my junk filter. So what is the actual point here?

FWIW, NOAA and it's parent Department of Commerce is one of the rare instances of a federal entity standardizing on Google G Suite rather than Microsoft Office 365. Folks there would be seeing this spam in Gmail instead of Outlook (unless they're using a 3rd party email client). Headlines about APTs breaching Microsoft have been common in recent years, but I haven't heard anything remotely similar about Google.
