Microsoft hires CastleCop founder for spam fight
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft has quietly hired the founder of antispam Web site CastleCops.com to work on its own antispam efforts regarding the company's consumer Live services initiative.
CastleCops founder and administrator Paul Laudanski announced the move a week ago in a post on the site's blog, although he actually started his new job at Microsoft last month.
"Effective May 16th I have accepted a new opportunity as a full-time Internet safety investigator for Microsoft's Live consumer services, Laudanski wrote in his post. "My areas include investigations into phishing, spam, and other Live service abuses." In the meantime, Laudanski is looking for someone to take over CastleCops.
