Email filters not working....again

Did Xfinity get hacked again? Since the hack, I have been forced to reset my account password daily. I assume someone tries too many times to log in incorrectly, which triggers it. Here's the problem. I have 2FA enabled. They can't get in even if they know the password. I have called numerous times, frequently being directly lied to while being passed around some Philippine call center, finally speaking to a "level 3 tech" (ha) to have them disable the flag that causes the forced reset. This lasts about two days, and we're back to the same old.

What does that have to do with email filters? Absolutely nothing.

The email filters were (kind of) working through yesterday. Starting today, every single piece of Chinese spam has flooded my inbox. I have been manually setting filter rules to weed them out since the hack, and today, they no longer have any effect. Every time I am forced to reset my account password, it wipes them, and I have to rebuild them, which sucks [Edited: Language], but I have gotten proficient at identifying patterns and characters to add to the filter rules. Now, if only they still worked. Come on Xfinity, get your [Edited: Language].

Great. I called. I ended up in a loud ESL call center with someone who couldn't comprehend the problem and kept telling me the email was not compromised. Eventually, she just said to call back if (when) it is reset again. Xfinity has the WORST customer service of any business I interacted with. I can't wait until any other option is available. I guess I'll waste another 90 minutes tomorrow.

The system asked me to reset my password again. There have been exactly 25 hours between reset requests at 34 minutes after the hour, which used to be 19 minutes after the hour but changed a couple of months back. Every time it does this, it wipes all my built-out email filters.
