One down, 199 more to go

Glorious news to all of us sick from spam flood: MSNBC reports that Robert Alan Soloway was arrested and accused of being a filthy spammer:

"A federal grand jury last week returned a 35-count indictment against Soloway charging him with mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering...Prosecutors say Soloway used computers infected with malicious code to send out millions of junk e-mails since 2003."

Altough some might applaud to this news, crying out that there in fact is a God, could I just remind you that this 'alleged' spammer has already been found guilty twice (once Microsoft sued him, another time a small ISP), yet his company Newport Internet Marketing Corp. Continued to spread its menace.

Maybe this time justice will in fact prevail and Soloway will spend significant time behind bars, with no computer. Until that day, hope you will see if nothing else, a drop in the incoming spam amount.
