MICROSOFT RAMPS UP ITS GLOBAL FIGHT AGAINST SPAM

Posted June 18, 2003 6:40 AM Pacific Time

Escalating its fight against unwanted spam e-mail, Microsoft
Tuesday announced that it has filed 15 civil lawsuits -- 13
in the U.S. and two in the U.K. -- against alleged spammers
targeting the company's customers.

The U.S. lawsuits allege that the defendants are responsible
for flooding Microsoft's customers with more than 2 billion
deceptive, unsolicited e-mail messages, according to Brad
Smith, senior vice president and Microsoft's general counsel.
He spoke at a news conference held by the company to explain
its latest anti-spam actions.
