Microsoft filed eight lawsuits against spammers it accused of deceiving consumers and using false information to hide their identities. "These spammers sent millions of emails individually--some hundreds of millions--soliciting a variety of products including body enlargement pills, prescription drugs, dating services, university degree programs, and work-at-home and get-rich-quick scheme offers," a Microsoft release stated. This set of lawsuits is the most recent salvo in a legal effort that began last summer; since then, Microsoft has pursued more than 80 lawsuits against spammers around the globe, the company noted. I wish I could get excited about these suits but evidence mounts that spam is more of a problem now than ever before.
