I hope it's true -- I'd sure like to see some spammers and hackers get what they deserve.

BTW, I d-loaded and installed ZoneAlarm today, a shareware firewall. Supposedly, it shuts down open ports, and only allows access to applications "approved" by the user. I use a stock charting program (TC2000) that doesn't much like the new restrictions imposed by ZoneAlarm, but otherwise it seems to be transparent to the apps I've opened to the program.

I got ZoneAlarm from the Kim Komando web site link. Anyone interested should take a look at www.kommando.com. It's a pretty good site with some good stuff.

Truly a classic!

Sometimes vigilante justice is the best way, as a last resort if nothing else seems to work....

I hope at least the SEC will have some teeth in investigating, even if the evidence on the website may be deemed inadmissible.... (I'm guessing here that there should be enough grounds here to obtain a search warrant / seizure, to procure evidence that is deemed admissible in court?)
