Facebook Wins $711 Million From Spammer

[ukgooey]

[citation][nom]should_have_logged_in_by_now[/nom]And hey ukgooey...Internet Spamming is tech...but it isn't news.Now the results of a court about it...gotta be even less tech related (and won't affect any of US).It's not like PB is getting crushed...it's just a waste of time.[/citation]
It will affect us if it stops it happening again. I hate spam. It's nice to hear that the perpetrator has been punished, even if the fine never gets paid.

And hey, if you think you can come up with several unique and relevant articles every day then do it or stfu. If you think it can be done better show us how. Just post your own article on this thread by this time tomorrow and I'll offer you my critique.

$711 million is a rather exacting number, i assume that he may have made quite a bit of cash spamming. Otherwise why not just $700 million I mean once you get past the first $100 million the rest is really just chump change right?

[citation][nom]lazy_to_login[/nom]I've learned to recognize your posts just by the title.Whenever there are some non-tech, inquirer looking news...that's you posting.I'd comment about the subject in question...if it didn't look like news from TMZ[/citation]

If your such a god damn good judge of Journalism submit some articles yourself and let's see how your judged.

From the formatting of your post I'd say your fingers are still slick from the potatoe chip grease your probably pimple faced, over weight ass has been slothing through during your break from WoW or you still have some lube lingering around from where you just judged an "article" on a porn site.

Get a life.

I'm wondering just how much money the spammer has taken in. No mention of that.

[citation][nom]JMcEntegart[/nom]Can't even be bothered to address me by name?I suppose posting news about Asus' plans for an android netbook or indeed their new USB 3.0 mobo isn't tech? Oh yeah, JUST the thing you'd find on TMZ.Go ruin someone else's friday, Troll. I'm in too much of a good mood to let you get to me today.[/citation]

+1 point to Jane McEntegart

I for one don't care much for online networking sites and how they conduct business, sensationalism to get webpage hits, or spammers. Anyone with me?

 

[JonnyDough]

Since it highlighted "webpage" as a link, lets go ahead and add annoying word link adds or whatever they're called to that as well. If you don't know what I'm talking about, scroll over the blue word in my above post. Apparently you should visit facebook and let T.J. Maxx make a Maxxinsista out of you. Enter today! No, actually...don't.

What I want to know is how Facebook is going to stop him from accessing their site. Can't he just create a new account under a different name?

[citation][nom]dingumf[/nom]You're retarded.[/citation]

You are the retard. You don't even know what this article is about. This hacker hacked people facebook accounts and used spaming posts on your friend pages. It was very effect that it spread to quite a few people account. Good you don't know anything to common on the issues you retard. Facebook notified I was hacked and I had to say sorry for all the posts he made on my behalf.

Hmmm so Facebook can put a lean on pretty much everything this guy owns, seize bank accounts and insurance. Pretty much this guy just became an instant bum lol I think they can also garnish his wages so even if he gets a job he will still have to pay.

They may never see very much of this money but they can sure make his life miserable.
