How to stop spam

A "BLACK Widow" suicide bomber who planned to detonate explosives in central Moscow was killed when a spam text message from her mobile-phone company set off the device early. News of the botched New Year's Eve operation emerged yesterday as Russian security sources said they had identified the suicide bomber who killed 35 people at a Moscow airport last week.

Mobile phones are often used as detonators by Islamist terrorist groups in Russia. Security services believe the failed bomber may have been part of the group that targeted Moscow's Domodedovo airport last Monday.

This week, a federal court awarded Facebook $360,500,000 in statutory damages and issued a permanent injunction kicking a known spammer, Philip Porembski, off Facebook for good. Sophos reports that Facebook received more than 8,000 user complaints in relation to Porembski's efforts, with 4,500 deactivating their accounts as a result.

Facebook has won a judgement worth over $360m against a spammer who hijacked Facebook accounts.“Ridding Facebook of spammers and scammers is a passion for us,” said Facebook’s security blog.

Facebook has been using a variety of tactics to defeat spammers on its site. Bret Taylor, chief technology officer for the company, said this week that Facebook had cut spam by 95 per cent during 2010.
