Your edit-request was accepted. We have e-mailed you with the details of the change so that you can verify it again. Your changes will NOT take effect until you have oked them.
You will find a link to do this in the e-mail we have sent you.
Now this is cool... on the majority of the sponsors i'm changing passwords on, all i'm getting is just this:
Your information has been updated!
No e-mail, no notification that someone changed anything in my affiliate account - NOTHING.
I can not believe sponsors have their affiliate modules set up like that!  |
you don't get it, do you ?
someone, lets say an hacker has access to NATS systems and is downloading the entire database of both affiliates and members.
the hacker can take your *new* password an hour or a day after you change it when he again runs the script the steals the database.
get it now ?
until the access is blocked - you;'re fucked.
