Microsoft Going After Hotmail Spammers

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the aegean-stables dept.

Mirkon writes "Quoth The Register: "Microsoft has targeted spammers with a lawsuit aimed at bulk mailers who harvest email addresses of Hotmail subscribers in order to bombard them with junk." Details are apparently sketchy at this point, but it's nice to see America's favorite monopoly putting its power to good use." The original news.com.com story is slightly more informative.

    Why does everything posted about MS on Slashdot have to be some kind of conspircy?

    Because at least 80% of /.ers' heads would explode if they actually tried to wrap their minds around the concept of MS doing something good.
