This won’t do anything to stop me from getting those emails telling me I have a small penis (oh wait, those are from Jonno), but it’s interesting nonetheless. Snip from the San Jose Mercury News:
“A man faces a sentence of up to 101 years in federal prison after being the first person in the U.S. convicted under a federal anti-spam law, authorities said.
Jeffrey Brett Goodin, 45, of Azusa, was found guilty Friday of running a ‘phishing’ scheme that tricked people into believing they were giving personal information to a legitimate business. Prosecutors said Goodin then used the information to go on a spending spree.” Link (via Digg)
