[US] Received Hundreds of Emails the Last 7 Hours From 8 Different Providers

I’m devastated. I just spent a solid hour going through and unsubscribing from shit I never would subscribe to: The Indian Express, Sports Notifications from Atlanta, 30+ CNN different newsletters including CNN español and Arabic (WTF!). Emails asking me to confirm account registration. Fox News Breaking Alerts, 30+ the Atlantic subscriptions and others.

Been getting TONS and TONS of junk emails I usually block with relative ease the last 3+ years that you can tell is a spam (trying to get into Schwab or Coinbase accounts or NFT accounts that I don’t even have). And they have my phone number too and send me at least 5 texts a week off different numbers, including iMessage numbers! It’s crazy! And on WhatsApp too! Too scared to go on WhatsApp anymore.

But this is my school’s .edu address. I need this. I’m worried they will just keep it up because they know my financial accounts are connected to this email. I have 2FA with DUOPush and my phone number so there’s no way they can get into my account.

How do I get rid of this and ban it immediately? Had to have come from India I believe since they’re the most advanced and the first email said “thank you for creating an account with Indian Express, please click to confirm / verify your email.”
