The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) obtains $163 million judgment against "Scareware" marketers (Innovative Marketing, Inc. and ByteHosting Internet Services, LLC, and individual directors of each corporation). FTC alleged these defendants conducted a massive “scareware” scheme that marketed a variety of computer security software via deceptive advertising by using computer “scareware” to trick consumers into thinking their computers were infected with malicious software, and then sold them software to “fix” their non-existent problem.
