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?

I got my usa.net account totally spammed out, and eventually let it go, but a solution I asked for was why can'y you opt to receive email ONLY from people on your address list? There was no option to do that (as far as I know, none of the email providers gives this option), but is there a technical reason it is not possible? I mainly use my email to communicate with a set of regular addressees, so this would prevent spam, wouldn't it? Adding a company to your address list wouldn't be a problem for specific purposes...just a thought.
