Microsoft Helps Bust Mass. Spam Ring

To add to a story I posted about here earlier today(See: "Massachusetts continues crackdown on spammers") , Nate Mook over on BetaNews provides additional insight into this:

With the investigative help of Microsoft's Internet Safety Enforcement team, Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly has filed a lawsuit against a spam ring accused of sending hundreds of millions of junk e-mails each month. Nine defendants were named in the lawsuit - seven individuals and two companies.

Microsoft says the seven spammers operated out of Russia and Boston, using domain names registered in Monaco, Australia and France and servers in China, Korea, Brazil and Taiwan.
