Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website.

 

Unspam was founded in 2001 as a consulting company for businesses and governments trying to solve the problems created by the flood of unsolicited, unwanted email. Our mission is to develop creative solutions that effectively control the volume of spam and manage the risks associated with it.

 

The Internet Law Group is a boutique law firm based in Northern Virginia that focuses on complex Internet litigation, and specializes in the forensic tracking of spammers and phishers. Jon Praed, ILG's founding partner, has been at the forefront of the Internet community's legal battle against spam. Over the past eight years, ILG has obtained over $20 million in judgments against spammers on behalf of some of the largest ISPs in the United States, and even more importantly has collected millions from spammers on behalf of its clients, and has helped shape the law against spam, including:

  • an early precedent-setting victory on summary judgment in AOL v. LCGM, 46 F. Supp. 2d 444 (E.D. Va. 1998);

  • an important personal jurisdiction decision in Verizon Online v. Alan Ralsky, 203 F. Supp. 2d 601 (E.D. Va. 2002), that established spammers can be sued wherever their spam causes injury; and

  • a ground-breaking contempt of court decision in AOL v. CN Productions (E.D. Va. 2002) (available here)
