Re: Name forgery in IT.
Hello,
I would need more information to give you a definitive answer. Have you suffered harm to your reputation in the work place or any other damages as a result of this incident? Has your company suffered any damages as a result of the non-functioning software?
Software/source code is unique to the author, everyone does it differently, some better, some worse. If the forgery of your name was intentional and has damaged your reputation in the work place b/c of the now non-functioning program, there may be something to pursue.
Please post or contact me with the additional facts.
Regards,
