CBI files cyber crime case

New Delhi March 23.In the first ever case of e-mail spamming (sending junk mails) from the country, the CBI has booked a case against a school dropout in Pondicherry, who had been ``bombarding'' a U.K.-based web-hosting company with thousands of e-mails.

This followed a complaint from the company.

In the mails, he had been asking the company to shut down one of its web sites and threatened to spam the service provider by sending porno e-mails in case the website was not removed. — PTI
