Submission + - New Zealand anti-spam operation (paulcull.org)
pdcull writes: "New Zealand news site Stuff is reporting that two businessmen were "interviewed" and twenty-two computers seized in what is believed to be the country's first anti-spam operation:
The Internal Affairs Department's anti-spam unit executed four search warrants simulataneously, seizing 22 computers and boxes of documents from four Christchurch addresses. Anti-spam investigators interviewed two Christchurch businessmen as part of the operation, the result of two-months of work with international agencies, Internal Affairs deputy secretary Keith Manch said.
The article states that the operation had to be rushed due the BBC publishing this article which could have alerted the spammers that their location had been identified as being in New Zealand's South Island."
