Facebook Spam King Surrenders

Archean · Aug 7, 2011

A US man charged with sending more than 27 million spam messages to Facebook users has turned himself in. Sanford Wallace, who is known as the "Spam King", surrendered to FBI agents in California.

He has been accused of developing a program which bypassed whatever filtering facebook implemented, and lured users to submit their account details.
