Comment on What happens if I never activate Windows?
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 4 months agoThat is wild, did the old IT guy report them or how did the FBI come into it all? Either way I think people are sometimes too comfortable with the fact that windows is “forgiving” with activation at the moment. I would rather have a license than find out the grace period is over and I am locked out of my important stuff. I don wonder why business try and cut corners on some of this stuff. They have to know they are juicy targets for hackers and M$ lawyers.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough - FBI was going after the old IT guy who had employed all the fuckery. I have no idea how the FBI got involved. My knowledge went from "Hey, here's what I see going on, and we're going to handle all of that" to "I am on the phone with the FBI."
