Hmmm…how malicious could it have been to get him only six months? Also, does anyone know if this was prosecuted under the CANSPAM legislation?
A Louisiana man has been sent to prison for six months for sending a malicious e-mail to Microsoft MSN TV customers.
The e-mails the convicted man sent out contained an attachment that the mails claimed would re-set their TV's display colours when opened.
Instead, the attachment contained script that re-programmed customers' TV boxes to dial 911 instead of a local phone number to access Microsoft's servers
