A US man has been arrested for allegedly sending around 800,000 spam emails which attempted to scam money from individuals who believed them to be genuine fundraising messages supporting the Tsunami appeal. Meanwhile the full-time, pro spammers who are responsible for the worm/virus invasion continue to operate. It just goes to show you, you can break the law as long as you don't tread on anything that's big in the news or messes with a major U.S. corporation. However, we are hopeful that the Feds seem to actually be taking action against some people these days, even though this only seems to be because a third party actually did the real detective work.
