Man Described as One of World's Top 10 Spammers Arrested in Seattle

Wednesday, May 30, 2007

SEATTLE — 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."

They should throw him in jail and feed him nothing but spam for the rest of his life.

In one piece of news I read they said people should expect an immediate decrease in the amount of spam. Not the case here :mark:
