Email Subscriber Fights Back

[Mobo]

Ynet recently discussed the masses of junk mail sent out by the Standards Institute of Israel , the authority entrusted with testing product quality on behalf of the society, but it seems the Institute ignored both our article and the talkbacks from angry readers reporting that the email spam continued.


One fed up recipient sent us an email alert earlier this week to say he has decided to take things into his own hands. He broke into the Institute’s server where the mailing list is kept and claims he deleted the whole thing.


“After I received the same spam from them for the third time, I succeeded in breaking into their site’s management system, which handles the distribution of email to subscribers,” the frustrated surfer who identifies himself as the ‘anti-spammer’ says.


“As a protest against the incessant junk mail, I simply erased all the data contained in their system.”


He added that he erased the user names of the system’s managers and changed the password necessary to enter it. “This is what will happen to every spammer,” he warned.
