A Queensland man headed up one of the world's largest online spamming operations that racked up as many as 140,000 reports, a court has heard.
Almost a quarter of the world's spam in the last three months of 2005 was sent from computers in the United States, according to UK antivirus company Sophos.
Federal lawmakers Wednesday promised to introduce legislation this year to attack the problem of spam, with proposals to create a national "do not e-mail" list and apply criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to approve antispam legislation that could end more than six years of failed attempts to create a federal law restricting unsolicited commercial e-mail.
The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) yesterday ordered Australian resident Lance Atkinson to pay over US$15.15 million for his role as the leader of what has been called the largest "spam gang" in the world.
