Senator Orrin Hatch recently said something along the lines of, "Hey, it'd be a pretty good idea to teach those cyber-criminals a thing or two and just start destroying all the computers with pirated software on 'em."
Well, according to a new report in Wired, Senator Hatch's own computers might be first on the chopping block.
The senator's site makes extensive use of a JavaScript menu system developed by Milonic Solutions, a software company based in the United Kingdom. The copyright-protected code has not been licensed for use on Hatch's website.
"It's an unlicensed copy," said Andy Woolley, who runs Milonic. "It's very unfortunate for him because of those comments he made."
