Law Enforcement Posse Takes Down Spam King
In the never-ending war against spam, the good guys say they have chalked up one significant win: the arrest of 27-year old Robert Alan Soloway, alleged to be the world's most prolific spammer. Soloway has reportedly been using an army of zombie computers to send out huge volumes of unwanted e-mails. He has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Seattle on 35 counts of mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering.
