C I Host's Faulkner Discusses Federal Lawsuits Against Spam

C I Host's Faulkner Discusses Federal Lawsuits Against Spam What: Texas' first lawsuit against a spam operation was filed by the state's attorney general Thursday. The complaint was filed under the CanSpam Act of 2003 to crack down on the massive flow of illegal e-mails. The suit names a University of Texas student and a California man, who manage three companies registered in Nevada -- one ranked as the fourth largest illegal spam operation in the world. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) was awarded an order Tuesday to shut down six illegal Internet firms for profiting from sexually explicit e-mails. Who: Industry expert Christopher Faulkner is prepared to discuss the recent government actions against spam, the tag-team effort between spammers and virus writers, how users can protect themselves and more. Faulkner is CEO and founder of C I Host, the largest privately held Web hosting firm, serving 215,000 clients in 190 countries. Where: C I Host is centrally located and accessible to both coasts via the DFW Airport, just a few miles away. Faulkner is available for in-studio interviews given advance notice. When: January 18, 2005 C I Host is on Central time, but Faulkner is prepared to work around the schedules of media producers, assignments editors and writers. http://www.cihost.com/ CONTACT: D.
