pocketkangaroo · 12-22-2007, 04:59 PM

I'm not trying to get into the arguments about this that the other threads seem to. I just have a couple simple questions that are more for my own safety (and other affiliates). If anyone at TMM or any NATS sponsors could answer, I'd really appreciate it.

1) Would all the affiliate data of mine be able to be harvested or is some of it encrypted/etc? The information I'm worred about is SSN/FEIN, bank account information, epassporte name, and affiliate password.

2) Will any sponsors be sending out emails regarding this to their affiliates?

Like I said, I don't want to get into the mess that the other threads are, would like to keep this strictly business. My concern would be of course identity theft or other unlawful activities. While I don't think I use my personal SSN on any of my accounts, I'm certain some people do. I'm also certain some people are using the same passwords on their affiliate accounts and epassporte accounts. I don't know what a person could do with my banking information, but I don't really want to find out. As someone who has been a victim of identity theft in his life, I know how little information is really needed by a bad guy to do this. If this information was all compromised, I would hope that affiliates would be informed so that we may change passwords, check credit reports, etc.

Thank you.
