Internet Spammer Arrested
The Times reports on the arrest of a former major spammer. Robert Alan Soloway, 27, faces “a 35-count federal indictment that includes wire fraud, e-mail fraud, money-laundering and aggravated identity theft” and could land him a 65 year sentence. While his arrest won’t stop the flood of unwanted e-mail into our inboxes, the case could have implications for prosecuting other spammers.
Some experts believe the amount of spam has doubled in the last year.
