'Operation Cyber Sweep' Nets 125 Arrests
unassimilatible writes "Attorney General John Ashcroft said Thursday that law-enforcement agents had arrested 125 suspects in a crackdown on Internet crimes ranging from hacking and software piracy to credit card fraud and selling stolen goods over the Internet, according to Wired. The investigation, begun Oct. 1 and dubbed Operation Cyber Sweep, involved police from Ghana to Southern California and uncovered 125,000 victims who had lost more than $100 million. Seventy indictments to date have led to arrests or convictions of 125 people, with more expected as the probe continues. The cases range from a Virginia woman who sent fake e-mails to America Online customers asking them to update their credit card numbers to a disgruntled Philadelphia Phillies fan who hacked into computers nationwide and launched spam e-mails criticizing the baseball team. 'The information superhighway should be a conduit for communication, information and commerce, not an expressway for crime,' Ashcroft said."
In Soviet Russia sweep CYBERS YOU!!!
Ashcroft just wants to eliminate everything from the next except for goatse.cx ... maybe hes the asshole on that page.
Something tells me that if Asscroft ever got tricked into clicking on a Goatse link, Mr. Goatse and the site owner would have a new home in Guantanamo Bay, and internet porn would become 'an act of terrorism'.

Why are you talking shit about Indonesian people? Don't you realize they suffer under a repressive government of brutal raghead overlords who promote ritual sacrifice and female circumcision? Maybe you should catheterize your penis with a soda straw in pennance for your heinous words.
Know ye CowboyKneel, that we of Slashdot have deemed
ye to be faggotrous in the most hideous of circumstances
and that by demonstrating your sure commitment to homosexuality
and its vices, you have been shunned by those of the moral
majority who find you to be like a dingleberry festering
in a distended rectum. Know that we shall forever seek
your permanent demise and pwnership. Run, and we will follow.
Hide, and we will join you in the closet and molest you.
'The information superhighway should be a conduit for communication, information and commerce, not an expressway for crime,' Ashcroft said."
Communication - What they want you to hear, read, and see.
Information - What information they can collect on you.
Commerce - What money they can extract from you.
See GOP - Greedy Old Party.
You are being MICROattacked, from various angles, in a SOFT manner.
No, you're living in Nazi America.
