One of the world’s top spammers, who happens to live in Seattle, is under arrest:
SEATTLE (AP) — A 27-year-old man described as one of the world’s most prolific spammers was arrested Wednesday, and federal authorities said computer users across the Web could notice a decrease in the amount of junk e-mail.
Robert Alan Soloway is accused of using networks of compromised ‘zombie’ computers to send out millions upon millions of spam e-mails.
‘He’s one of the top 10 spammers in the world,’ said Tim Cranton, a Microsoft Corp. lawyer who is senior director of the company’s Worldwide Internet Safety Programs. ‘He’s a huge problem for our customers. This is a very good day.’
Anyone notice a decrease? I didn’t.
