Caught for sending 1.6 billion spams
IT Networks write about two South Koreans who allegedly sent out 1.6 billion spam emails over two months:
"The men, one aged 20 and the other 26 years old, are alleged to have broken the law by sending out 1.6 billion spam emails between September and December 2006. South Korean authorities in Seoul claim that the duo, both computer programmers, obtained personal and financial information from 12,000 victims which they then sold to other firms."

Chances are (one in five) you got a sweet note from those two, and hopefully it landed in trash almost instantly. Anyhows, does this make you feel better?

I feel kind of happy, even great, for knowing two such big spammers are behind bars and away from computers. Just 199 more big spammers to track down, prosecute and imprison.
