Idera's Criminal Activity
WOW, this is big. I just found an article about a lawsuit filed by Quest Software against Idera where they allege patent infringement as well as criminal hacking and property theft. The article is on Technology Law 360.
Man, this is just big.
Ok, according to the story, Quest is saying that Idera has not only been copying their software to the point that they're infringing their patents, but they've actually illegally hacked into Quest's computers and stole secret product information.
This isn't me talking, this is the article about the lawsuit.
Personally, I think Rick Pleczko had better be careful or he and many others at Idera could be facing jail time on this hacking business. That's a serious offense.
Anyway, if you want to see it for yourself, you can view the article here. You'll have to join, but the trial membership is free and you'll be able to see the article right away. It's pretty interesting.
I'll keep you posted as I find things out, but unless something major happens, this could be the end of Idera.
Happy reading!
