Explanation
The CAN-SPAM Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act) is a US law that establishes rules for commercial email, including prohibiting deceptive subject lines and misleading header information. An email that falsely claims a prize in the subject line while demanding payment in the body is a textbook violation. HIPAA governs health data privacy, GLBA covers financial data privacy, and SOX regulates corporate financial reporting - none of those apply to email marketing fraud.
