Fighting malware and spam

Czech spammers receive fines

The Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (UOOU) imposes first fines for spamming offences.

The Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (UOOU) has imposed its first fines for spamming offences. Since the office first started to handle the issue of spamming 12 months ago, the UOOU has registered 656 complaints about spam. A spokeswoman for the office said that they had not anticipated the magnitude of the problem at the outset. The office has now issued four fines, the largest of which was for 160,000 Czech crowns (approx. £3,680). Complaints can be submitted to the UOOU at http://www.uoou.cz/spam.php3.
