For its complaint, Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") alleges as follows:

I.
1.

INTRODUCTION

Facebook is the most popular social networking site on the Internet with more than

175 million active users worldwide. Founded in February 2004, Facebook is a social utility that

5

helps people communicate more efficiently with their friends, family and coworkers. The

6
7 8

company develops technologies that facilitate the sharing of information through the social graph
- the digital mapping of people's real-world social connections. 2. In addition to providing users with an array of tools for communicating with

9 10 11 12
13

friends, family and coworkers, Facebook vigilantly protects the privacy and security of its users. User privacy is a top priority for the company. Facebook tightly controls access to its network and the data housed thereon. Facebook leads the industry in giving people tools to control what information they share and with whom they share it. Users have the ability to share and restrict
information based on specific friends or friend lists, and to designate who may communicate with

14 15
16

them using Facebook's various messaging options. Facebook also enforces a variety of security policies, including a prohibition on soliciting or sharing user login information (username and
password) or accessing other users' accounts.

17 18

3.

Along with these powerful privacy options and security measures, Facebook

devotes substantial resources to combat unauthorized use of its website. As with any popular

19
20 21

internet service, it is inevitable that Facebook will attract phishers and spammers who seek to
illegally exploit Facebook's user-base for personal profit. 4. This action arises from Defendants' abuse of Facebook and Facebook's users

22
23

through a spam and phishing campaign. Defendants are using false and misleading messages to
direct Facebook users to websites designed to deceive them into divulging their Facebook

24
25 26 27 28

usernames and passwords ("phishing" websites). Defendants then use these login credentials to
gain unauthorized access to Facebook user accounts for the purpose of sending unsolicited commercial electronic messages ("spam") to other Facebook users. 5. Defendants' unlawful actions are causing irreparable harm to Facebook and to

Facebook's users. Accordingly, Facebook seeks injunctive, equitable, and other relief including,
-J2^

but not limited to compensatory, statutory, exemplary, aggravated, and punitive damages;

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

This Court has federal question jurisdiction over this action under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1331, because this action alleges violations of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (15 U.S.C. § 7701

22 23 24 25 26

et seq.) and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.). The Court has supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining claims under 29 U.S.C. § 1367. 12. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1391 (b)(2) because a substantial

part of the events giving rise to the claims raised in this lawsuit occurred in this District. 13. Jurisdiction and venue are also proper in this Court under Cal. Penal Code

27
28

§ 520(j), which states: "For purposes of bringing a civil or a criminal action under this section, a
person who causes, by any means, the access of a computer, computer system, or computer 13_:
COMPLAINT

1
2

network in one jurisdiction from another jurisdiction is deemed to have personally accessed the
computer, computer system, or computer network in each jurisdiction."

3
4 5 6 7

14.

During all relevant times, Defendants repeatedly, knowingly, and intentionally

accessed or permitted access to Facebook servers located in California to access without authorization the accounts of Facebook users and send spam to other Facebook users. While accessing Facebook servers and sending spam to Facebook users, Defendants made systematic and continuous contacts with California, and have targeted their wrongful acts at Facebook,

8
9 10

which is headquartered in Palo Alto, California. Facebook's servers and offices are present in
this judicial district. At all relevant times, Defendants were aware that their illegal acts would harm Facebook and its computer network.

11
12 15.

IV.

INTRA-DISTRICT ASSIGNMENT

Assignment to the San Jose Division of this Court is appropriate under

13

Civil L.R. 3-2, in that the claims asserted herein arose in the county of Santa Clara. Facebook is

14
15

headquartered in the county of Santa Clara, and it has servers located at several locations in this
county.

V.

FACTS AND BACKGROUND

17
18 19

A.

Facebook Background
16. Facebook owns and operates the widely popular social networking website located

at http://www.facebook.com. Facebook currently has more than 175 million active users.

20
21
22

17.

To access its computer network and social networking website, Facebook requires

users to register and establish a unique username and password. Only registered users may access
Facebook user profiles and use the Facebook service.

23

18.

Registered users may customize their profile by adding personal information,

24
25

content related to their interests, photographs, and other information that they can then share with
other Facebook users.

26 27
28

19.

Facebook users may only be contacted by other registered Facebook users,

authorized Facebook Pages and Groups, or Facebook itself.

-4COMPLAINT

20.

Users increase the number of their Facebook connections by becoming "friends"

with other Facebook users. A Facebook friendship is mutual. Both users must agree to be friends before a connection is established between their Facebook accounts. In this manner, Facebook
creates a virtual social network of interconnected profiles. 21. Facebook allows registered Facebook users to exchange messages in several ways,

including by way of "Facebook Chat" (real-time instant messaging), internal messages to another

user's "inbox," and messages posted on another user's "Wall." Facebook permits users to control

access to their Facebook messaging options so they can control the privacy of their
communications and minimize unwanted contact.

10

22.

Facebook Wall messages are particularly attractive to spammers. Only registered

11 12
13 14 15

Facebook users may post Wall messages, and they may only do so on the Walls of friends who have permitted such postings via their privacy settings. A user's Wall and the messages thereon
are visible to anyone permitted to see the user's profile. Therefore, a spammer who has gained access to a user account can reach multiple Facebook users with a single Wall message. Moreover, because Wall messages are displayed with a header showing the sender's name and

16 17
18

profile picture, the recipient (and others viewing the recipient's Wall) are more likely to read a spam Wall message from a compromised user account believing the message to have originated
from a known sender.

19

23.

Spammers automate the sending of messages by using short computer scripts to

20
21
22

automatically send unsolicited Wall messages to every friend of a compromised Facebook
account. Automated Wall spamming is designed for maximum visibility and impact and can
result in the rapid dissemination of spam.

23 24 25 26
27
28

24.

As described above, an important aspect of Facebook is that its users generally

interact with and receive communications only from their friends. Users have complete control over those with whom they choose to interact. As such, Facebook users do not expect to receive--and should not receive--spam while using Facebook. Facebook does not tolerate or
permit use of its services or site for sending spam. As described below, Facebook's Terms of Use

C.

Defendants' Unauthorized Activities
27. All Defendants have either accessed or are registered users of Facebook and are,

therefore, subject to Facebook's Terms of Use. 28. At least one of the Defendants, Sanford (aka "Spamford") Wallace, is a notorious

Internet scam artist who has been involved in various illegal spamming and malware activities since the mid 90s. Indeed, Mr. Wallace has both Federal Trade Commission and civil judgments against him for these activities that total in excess of $235 million. Myspace, Inc. v. Wallace, No. CV 07-1929-ABC, 2008 WL 1766714, *1 (CD. Cal. April 15,2008); F.T.C. v. Seismic Entm't
Prod., Inc., No. Civ. 04-377-JD, 2004 WL 2403124, *1 (D. N.H. Oct. 21,2004); CompuServe

11

Inc. v. CyberPromotions, Inc., 962 F. Supp. 1015 (S.D. Ohio 1997).

12 13
14

29.

At no time has Facebook granted Defendants permission to conduct any of the

illegal commercial activity on Facebook's website complained of herein.
30. On information and belief, Defendants fraudulently gained access to legitimate

15 16 17
18 19

Facebook user accounts, either by misappropriating login information through their "phishing" websites, or other methods. On information and belief, between November 5,2008 and the present, Defendants have and continue to use automated means to access legitimate Facebook
user accounts and send spam Wall messages to other Facebook users. 31. These spam messages are generally aimed at deceiving recipients into visiting

20 21 22
23 24
25
26

Defendants' phishing websites in an attempt to acquire additional Facebook users' login credentials. Spam recipients are further directed to third-party commercial websites. On information and belief, Defendants' receive compensation for driving traffic to those sites.
32. Facebook has taken extraordinary measures to investigate and stop Defendants'

phishing and spam campaign. Defendants have and continue to change their tactics, attempting to
evade Facebook's countermeasures.
D. Harm to Facebook

27 28

33.

Traditional spam messages are easily identified and ignored. Defendants'

unauthorized use of compromised Facebook accounts to send spam makes those messages more
-7COMPLAINT

1
2

difficult to identify as spam, because they appear to be personal messages from friends. This
taints the Facebook experience for affected Facebook users. As a result, Facebook is suffering

3 4 5
6

significant harm to its reputation and goodwill. 34. Facebook has suffered economic damages in excess of $5,000 attributable to

efforts and resources devoted to combat Defendants' spam and phishing activities, to minimize
the disruptive impact of Defendants' actions on Facebook and its users, and to locate and identify

7

the Defendants. Facebook's economic damages continue to mount as Facebook is forced to

8
9
10

implement new methods and techniques in an effort to identify and block Defendants' everchanging tactics.
35. Facebook will continue to suffer immediate and irreparable harm, damage, and

11
12

loss for as long as the Defendants continue their illegal actions.
E. Special Circumstances of Defendant Scott Shaw

13 14
15 16

36.

Defendant Scott Shaw filed for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy

Court of Nevada (Las Vegas) on April 14,2008. See Bankruptcy Case #: 08-13640-lbr.
37. As part of Defendant Shaw's Bankruptcy Proceedings, the Bankruptcy Code, 11

U.S.C., § 101 et seq, provides for an automatic bankruptcy stay with respect to any action or

17
18

proceeding that was or could have been commenced before the commencement of Defendant
Shaw's bankruptcy case.

19

38.

All of the unauthorized activity alleged in this complaint by Defendant Shaw took

20
21 22
23

place more than six months after Defendant Shaw filed for bankruptcy and is therefore not subject
to the automatic bankruptcy stay, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)(l),. 39. To the extent that any claim or statement herein is alleged or deemed to seek relief

from Defendant Shaw in violation of the automatic bankruptcy stay, 11 U.S.C. §362(a)(l), or to

24

seek enforcement against property of the estate (as defined by 11 U.S.C, §541), Plaintiff

25 26
27
28

Facebook does not seek such relief or enforcement at this time and will not seek such relief or enforcement absent an order of the Nevada Bankruptcy Court granting relief from the automatic
bankruptcy stay.

herein, the allegations in all the preceding paragraphs.

41.

website operated for a commercial purpose). 42. On information and belief, Defendants have and continue to "initiate" commercial

electronic mail messages, as defined in 15 U.S.C. 7702(9), because they are originating or transmitting such messages or procuring the origination or transmission of such messages, as

12

defined in 15 U.S.C. 7702(12) and 15 U.S.C. 7704(g)(2).

43.

other services offered over the Internet, and may also include access to proprietary content,

16 17

information, and other services as part of a package if services offered to consumers.
44. Facebook's website and computers are "protected computer[s]," as defined in

18

initiating transmission, through Facebook's protected computers to Facebook users, of commercial electronic mail messages that do not contain a functioning return electronic mail
address or other Internet-based opt-out mechanism, clearly and conspicuously displayed, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a)(3). 48. On information and belief, Defendants are engaging in a pattern or practice of

computers to Facebook users, that do not contain (1) clear and conspicuous identification that the
messages were advertisements or solicitations, (2) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity

commercial electronic mail messages (or assisting in originating such messages by providing or
selecting addresses to which the message are transmitted) through Facebook's protected computers to Facebook users in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(a). On information and belief,

the website or online service will not give, sell, or otherwise transfer addresses it maintains to any
other party for purposes of initiating or enabling other to initiate electronic mail messages, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 7704(b)(l).
