Career
Early in Zammuto's career he was the CEO of Sapago and also COO of ChCha. In 2012, he became the President of Brand.com.[1]
In early 2014, Zammuto was the victim of an attempted blackmail.[2] [3] Cyberextortionists threatened to damage his reputation, unless they were given Bitcoin.[4] The demand was for the equivalent of US$500,000.[5]
Following the attack, Zammuto announced that he would be launching a non-profit to help those who were victims of cyber attacks.[6] [7] This started with him personally helping Robin Savage and others who had been damaged by fake reviews and damaging reports on sites such as Ripoff Report.[8] The company was launched on the URL cyberharassment.org in March 2014.[9] [10] [11]
Following the attack, Zammuto spoke of other extortions including the attempted cyberextortion of Meetup.com.[12]
