NJ Man Gets 2 Years in Jail For Spamming
According to a report on Reuters, a New Jersey man was sentenced to 27 months in prison for spamming more than a million AOL subscribers. 28 year old Todd Moeller was caught making a deal with a government official to send spam advertising a computer security program in return for 50% of the profit. He pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this year. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan says he got around AOL's filters by using several different servers and forging headers to make them untraceable, Moeller told the official he made $40,000 a month from spam he sent promoting stocks. In just one week he and his partner, Adam Vitale, spammed more than 1.2 million AOL users. Vitale was also arrested and pled guilty. He will be sentenced next week.
