Some interesting news on the AP wire today. Robert Soloway who is reported to be one of the top ten spammers in the world has been arrested and charged with 35 counts of various computer crimes. It appears Soloway has been utilizing a vast array of zombie computers( computer infected with malware without their owners knowledge) to send out millions of SPAM messages across the globe.
Perhaps this arrest will help to reduce the amount of spam I receive every day. Of course if SPAMMING was not profitable thne people like this would not do it. The government has seized 100 of thousand’s of dollars from Soloway’s bank account, so he’s been making money somewhere. Guess SPAM does pay someone.
