Phishing Illegal in California

Actually, phishing has always been illegal, but now you can sue for civil damages in California. Not that it will do much good: if the threat of going to prison didn't dissuade phishers, the threat of getting sued won't either. Plus, while you might win your lawsuit here in California, just try collecting your damages from the Romanian teenager you defeated in court.
