Your e-mail safe again on MySpace ! by Diana Zotescu

A little regulated domain such as the Internet allows many frauds to express their creativity when it comes to making money. This was the case with two New York youngsters Shaun Harrison and Saverio Mondelli who developed a ‘tracking software’, allowing anyone who purchased their US $29.95 software to track the email and IP addresses of MySpace users, opening them up to spam, hack attacks and unwanted attention. A less intelligent move was trying to extort a $150 000 consulting fee from MySpace officials who instead of paying the money announced the Secret Services. Shaun Harrison and Saverio Mondelli ave to pay $13,500 to MySpace in restitution, perform 160 hours of community service, never use MySpace in any form again and will have to submit to computer searches whenever demanded, with any form of violation likely to see them sent straight to prison. End of story.
