E-mail Marketing Company Agrees to $1.1 Million Settlement

New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer has agreed to a $1.1 million settlement from an interactive marketing firm that he said reused e-mail addresses and other consumer information without authorization. Spitzer described the case involving Datran Media as being possibly "the largest breach of privacy in Internet history" with e-mail addresses and other data about some 6 million people involved.
