Every Man a Cyber Crook
Mark Rasch, 2002-01-07

Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

It would be interesting to get a new hotmail account with a complex unguessable account name such as q21_lo1at3xzkl@hotmail.com
and see how long it takes to get spammed even though the account has never been used to sign up anywhere for anything, never used to send or receive email etc - essentially inactive. My guess is that it would not take very long. That would possibly indicate that someone is using a piece of software to guess all possible permutations to create email lists or is getting the hotmail email lists somehow.
