Hacker Sentenced in Spam Case
By Charles Piller, Times Staff Writer
May 9, 2006

A Downey man was sentenced to nearly five years in federal prison Monday for 
using malicious software to seize control of 400,000 computers and then 
selling access to the "zombie" machines to spammers and hackers.

Weiss, CEO of IronPort Systems in San Bruno, Calif., which produces 
anti-spam software.
