iCloud mail is send me lots of spam emails.

Over the past two weeks or so I have been inundated with spam emails from my iCloud account. This never use to happen. Has Apple changed or loosened their email spam filters to let more of it through? I have not changed anything on my system since I upgrade to Ventura in December.
