NetFlash: High-profile identify thefts
force govt., industry to take action
03/31/2005 05:10 AM

It used to be only a paranoid few who worried about the proliferation of personal data in electronic form. Now, though, everyone can see the “paranoia” was justified - with 635,000 consumer complaints related to fraud and identity theft logged with the FTC last year and a rash of organizations revealing that personal information was compromised. Finally, it looks like this is enough to get Congress’ attention.

Anti-Virus Firms Fearing A Lack Of High
Profile Viruses -- Pump Up Low Profile O
03/29/2005 02:05 PM
Six years after the famous "Melissa" mass mailing viruses, some started to say that mass mailing viruses were on the decline. Of course, for the publicity departments of anti-virus firms, that's bad news. They need some sort of virus scare every other day or so to prop up sales. So, wouldn't you know it, just as we're told that mass mailing viruses are on the decline, Symantec comes out with a screaming warning about some new mass mailing virus. Of course, when you look at the details, even they admit that it's a "low" or "moderate" threat. However, that's never stopped the company from ringing the fear bell to try to drum up some extra sales.

High Profile Spammer Files For
Bankruptcy -- But Plans To Keep Spamming


High Profile Spammer Files For
Bankruptcy -- But Plans To Keep Spamming
03/29/2005 08:53 AM
One of the highest profile spammers around has been Scott Richter and his company "OptInRealBig." Richter has received plenty of coverage over the years for such stunts as suing SpamCop for "damaging his reputation". He was also one of the major characters in Brian McWilliam's fascinating < i>Spam Kings book -- which gives you the impression that Richter really likes the idea of becoming a legitimate, non-spamming email marketer, but can't seem to stick to it. Richter also got off extre mely lightly last year in the case which NY State filed against him with great fanfare. While he got away with just a slap on the wrist in that case, both Richter and OptInRealBig are now declaring bankruptcy. Of course, don't get too excited just yet. The company claims that it's doing just fine and is actually growing. The point of declaring bankruptcy is just to consolidate all the other lawsuits that have been filed against the company (including a $40 million suit from Microsoft) -- and to reorganize the business to keep on churning out those emails.
