Whose Using These Stolen
Accounts and For What?
During the 5 year study this subject a remarkable number of email and internet web accounts were seized by persons unknown. As the person who set up these accounts
primarily for academic research I have to ask who has stolen the passwords, what are the accounts being used for and why are the internet firms involved refusing to close
these accounts? Are the accounts being used as cover by drug dealers; pornographers; terrorist; criminals; or who?

Chris -You don't need my permission to link to CREW.org but I am concerned that your
web site takes a long time to load and places 6 diffrent spy ware tracking
cookies on my computer when I go there. As it is currently configured CREW would
NOT like to link to your web page. Whats up? If you want to provide a public service
I suggest you get the adware cleaned up. If you are in a for profit mode you should say
so straight up and still reject spyware from your sponsors. Concerned about privacy and
truth in advertizing-
