SB 355 makes Internet "phishing" -- using e-mail to entice recipients to divulge personal information such as Social Security numbers or credit card numbers in order to commit fraud -- a crime in California.
SB 97 increases penalties for violation of California's anti-spam law. It makes such violations misdemeanors, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, imprisonment in a county jail for not more than six months, or by both the fine and imprisonment.
