06/11/2004 01:07 PMMicrosoft has filed lawsuits against eight spammers under a new
antispam law that went into effect in January. Microsoft accuses them
of violating the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography
and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act. The spammers spoofed their domains,
routed their email through open proxies, and used misleading subject
lines. The spammers sent millions of emails for body-part enlargement
pills, dating services and get-rich-quick schemes.

Microsoft sues 117 over 'phishing'
03/31/2005 05:03 PMMicrosoft Corp. has filed 117 lawsuits against unknown Internet site
operators who used "phishing" schemes to obtain personal and
financial information from unsuspecting consumers, the world's largest
software maker said on Thursday. Often scam artists pose as banks or
other legitimate businesses, sending out millions of e-mails or pop-up
Web advertisements with requests that the recipient update their
account information but instead direct them to fake sites.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it was filing "John
Doe" defendant lawsuits in U.S. District Court in Washington
state in an attempt to establish connections between worldwide
"phishers" and discover the largest-volume operators.
"We must work together to stop these con artists from misusing
the Internet as a tool for fraud," Aaron Kornblum, Internet
safety enforcement attorney at Microsoft, said in a statement.
