"Honesty is the best policy" has always been the subject of debate. Does the aphorism encourage honesty because honesty is morally correct or because it is simply advantageous?
Brazil is emerging as a leader in cybercrime. One reason is Conflicker, a program that exploits a defect in Microsoft Windows. Microsoft patched it in 2008. But the market for pirated versions of Microsoft is gigantic in Brazil and those illegal versions have not been patched and so those versions can be breached. One common malware is Trojan, made in Brazil to mine for banking information.

So the people who have bought an illegal Windows are the only ones vulnerable.
Some version of Franklin is right.
