Good, first decent thing AOhell have ever done. I hope they will invest this windfall payout in providing more secure software and networks for the benefit of all users of their service.
America Online Inc. has filed suit against three Florida residents accused of sending millions of unwanted e-mail messages as part of an international spam ring.
The Sterling, Va., Internet service provider said three employees of an Orlando-area software firm sent more than 35 million spam e-mail messages to AOL members between January and June 2003. Most of the e-mail featured advertisements for low-rate mortgage offers and generated about 1.5 million complaints from AOL users.
Charles Henry and Heidi Miller of Winter Garden, Fla., and James Connor of Longwood, Fla., are named in the suit. Their company, Connor-Miller Software Inc., also is named. AOL is seeking $1.6 million in direct damages, plus punitive damages and the forfeiture of the defendants' computer equipment.
