2 Billion Spam Emails a Year
And that’s just one dude…
Danyel Molenaar, a project manager for the Dutch Independent Regulator of Post and Telecommunications, said the man had rented 35 servers for around 14,000 Australian dollars (US$10,493; euro8,256) each per month from a small Internet service provider in the Netherlands to carry out the alleged spam campaign.
So the spammer gets arrested but what happens to the hosting company that let him do it for years?
