Facebook awarded $711.2m in damages against notorious spammer Sanford Spamford Wallace. Wallace had phished login details from thousands of Facebook members. He then used their hacked accounts to bombard other users with messages promoting cool sites that in reality tried to sell products or make money through web hits. Wallace failed to show up for the hearing, causing a judge to order him to be prosecuted for criminal contempt of court. If Wallace is found guilty, he could face a jail sentence.”]
