Scott Levine, the scum behind spam empire snipermail.com, was convicted on 120 counts of unauthorized access to data, two counts of access device fraud and one count of obstruction of justice. He and his employees stole 1.6 billion customer records from Acxiom, a company whose business is to violate people’s privacy, and used the data to spam and inflate the size of snipermail.com’s contact database to make snipermail.com more attractive to buyers.
Maximum sentence is 640 years in prison and about $30M in fines.
Let’s hope the people sentencing him were victims of his spams.
The only negative side to the story is that Axciom, once again, gets away with basically peeing on people’s online privacy.
