Dave, can they trace this 'person' hacker? Mail fraud is automatically a federal offense, bringing in the FBI. So, for instance, if a swapmeister were to use the post office mail system to defraud swappers out of their flies, it's a felony.
I wonder if they could do the same thing with web and email fraud and hacking, eh? Just a thought...back to work.
