Westmore, a former “senior web designer,” told FoxNews.com that he had no idea North Korea was using his work, but he’s certainly not complaining.

“As a web designer I’m always happy to see my work getting utilized,” Westmore, who spent several months of development on the theme, told FoxNews.com. “Especially when it’s on a high-profile website.”

I suppose that’s fair enough. But knowing the United States, Westmore better not be trying to land any government contracts anytime soon. He’s probably already on a blacklist. [FoxNews.com]
