Microsoft's antiphishing initiative in Europe and the Middle has led to the filing of 129 lawsuits in the eight months since it began, the company said Wednesday.

One court case in Turkey has already led to a two-and-a-half year prison sentence for a phisher in Turkey, and another four cases against teenagers have been settled out of court, as a result of the Microsoft's Global Phishing Enforcement Initiative launched in March.
