ICO claims 'significant progress' in war on spam texts
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) claims to have made significant progress in finding those responsible for bothering UK citizens with mobile spam.
The data protection watchdog today said it was almost certain it knew who was behind spam messages, but it needed more evidence to punish them.
The ICO has learned messages are being sent from unregistered pay-as-you-go SIM cards and has raided an office in the north of England as part of its investigations. It said it was planning to execute more search warrants in the future.
