    The lawsuit also accuses an additional 25 John Does in Vancouver, British Columbia, for a scheme known as "phishing," in which spammers pose as Internet service providers like America Online, to collect personal and financial information from unsuspecting subscribers.

            bloody spam ...
            I get most of my spam from those who collected email addresses from the Whois database.

            Most spam going to addresses that only exist in that database and never used elsewhere.

            There should be a global DO-NOT-EMAIL address unless specifically invited - and it should be the email addresses used for domain registrations (only the registrar automatically included).

            They should implement this one domain at a time as they renew.

            IMO

              That would be like an invitation for all spammers to spam some more 'verified' emails.

                According to the lawsuit, the defendants also sent junk e-mail to some of their own accounts to monitor EarthLink's efforts to block unwanted messages.

                  I'm not a network guru ...
                  but I think this could be blocked on EVERY domain name server everywhere.

                  Simply not possible to send an email to an email address used with domain name registration unless specifically given permission to.

                  In the old days when you registered domains and even now you're not supposed to collect that information.

                  I ask InterNic.com to uphold "their rules" when I first registered my domains. Fufill the promise.

                                  Whoever's dumb enough to steal ELN's, dial up to them, and procede to send spam off them deserves to get fucked IMHO.

                                  All this does is help the spammers who are good enough to not get caught.

                                        EarthLink, which said it suffered roughly $5 million in damages from the Alabama ring alone...
                                        No they didn't. So they carded a bunch of accounts and had to refund. Companies like to pretend that when someone cards a membership, the carder would have bought one anyway. All they lost was some bandwidth, which is pretty cheap if you're earthlink.

                                          Give me a break, the entire state of Alabama doesn't have 5 million bucks between 'em.
