"*Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly issued a court order Wednesday to shut down dozens of Web sites allegedly operated by a ring of Boston-area spammers.
The "Internet Spam Gang," as investigators called the group, is considered to be one of the world's largest spam operations and has sent millions of unsolicited e-mail messages for items like pirated software and counterfeit drugs.
The gang is comprised of seven individuals and allegedly headed by Leo Kuvayev, who lives in Newton, a Boston suburb.*"
