Man Threatened Spam Attack In $200,000 Extortion Plot 77

52-year-old Anthony Digati was arrested for trying to extort $200,000 from an insurance firm by threatening to spam them with six million emails unless they paid up.

He added that the price would increase to $3 million if they failed to pay up by Monday, according to federal authorities.
