Microsoft Wins $7 Million Spam Settlement

08/10/2005 8:30 AM

Microsoft has won a $7 million court settlement from Scott Richter, a businessman considered to be one of the world's biggest senders of spam e-mail. According to Microsoft's estimates, Richter was sending 38 million spam messages a year. "We have now proven that we can take one of the most profitable spammers in the world and separate him from his money," said Microsoft chief counsel Brad Smith.

...200,000 left to go. I wonder if there is any real data on how many spammers there are out there? It must be hard to trace with so many zombies and other tricks up thier sleeves.
