Yahoo Sues Anonymous Spammers In 'Lottery" Scam

Yahoo filed a lawsuit Tuesday against numerous anonymous "Yahoo Lottery Spammers" for illegally sending phishing messages that enticed users into revealing personal information by tricking them into believing that they won a lottery or received a prize offered by Yahoo.

I hope they succeed. Their first step will be to determine who is behind the spam so they know who exactly they are suing. I am sure the perpetrator will have no money worth collecting. At least the threat of a lawsuit ought to stop some people from continuing the phishing scams.
