QUOTE(omnimech @ Apr 9 2019, 10:23 AM) I can assure you that is very normal especially for niche software. well one needs to be very careful nowadays.I deal with this on a corporate setting a lot . Thats why I asked the TS, whether they knowingly use this software via pirated means.  this method of scam has been done before. |

QUOTE(0127671115 @ Apr 9 2019, 10:54 AM) That's why I asked everyone here for what my best action is. well you have to prepare for the worst if it indeed happen.To conclude my case. One employer of my company really installed the software in one our our domain PC and using it. I checked, it was installed August 2018. The letter comes from Lawyer firm with letterhead and contact info of the lawyers and they 'encourage' us to contact them asap. My thinking is take the PC and make it disappeared. Because uninstall or format the PC won't work, they probably have the MAC address of the motherboard already. Then ignore the lawyer and see what they do next. I just want to cover all my grounds here. I would like to know the online activities that trace back to our company IP address etc. Is it sufficient evidence to bring any lawsuit to our company under Malaysia law. the lawyer firm is malaysian or foreign? confirm the lawyer firm is legit before contacting them. like the others mentioned if the lawyer firm is legit, contact them and hear them out first so you can decide what to do. but be careful not to say anything and just hear them out. you may make the PC disappeared but they can still lodge a report to the local authorities based on the evidence they have. they can still raid your office and take all related IT equipment for investigation. they may not have the hard evidence in the end but its a big hassle for your company. sometimes paying the penalty is easier if the amount is not much. good luck. |
