Spammer Scott Levine Convicted

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the into-the-big-house dept.

bani writes "Spammer Scott Levine was convicted of massive data theft from Acxiom Corporation. Prosecutors say his company, the now-defunct Snipermail.com, stole 1.6 billion customer records from Acxiom and sold the data. He faces a maximum of 640 years in prison under the law, though he will likely be sentenced to far less. One spammer down, several million to go?"

    "Billy says 640 years should be enough for anyone"
