FTC Sues, Shuts Down N. Calif. Web Hosting Firm

[quispiam lepidus <quispiam.lepidus () gmail com>]

In an unprecedented move, the Federal Trade Commission has taken legal
steps to shut down a Web hosting provider in Northern California that
the agency says was directly involved in managing massive global spam
operations.

Sometime on Tuesday, more than 15,000 Web sites connected to San Jose,
Calif., based Triple Fiber Network (3FN.net) went dark. 3FN's sites
were disconnected after a Northern California district court judge
approved an FTC request to have the company's upstream Internet
providers stop routing traffic for the provider.
