City of Industry, CA - Internet Service Providers industry alert provided by U.S. Equity News. EarthLink's (Nasdaq: ELNK) investigation into the source of millions of phisher site spam e-mails has helped law enforcement break up an alleged identity theft ring. A federal grand jury in New Haven, Connecticut, returned an indictment on September 20th charging six individuals with identity theft, conspiracy and fraud in connection with e-mail and access devices. Three AOL subscribers who suddenly found records of their Internet searches widely distributed online are suing the company under privacy laws and are seeking an end to its retention of search-related data. The lawsuit is believed to be the first in the wake of Time Warner's (NYSE:TWX) AOL intentional release of some 19 million search requests made over a three-month period by more than 650,000 subscribers, including the three plaintiffs -- two unnamed Californians and Kasadore Ramkissoon of Richmond County, N.Y.
