Like Naja says, they can just come right back in and get your new password. Thing I would do is change all your important passwords if they are remotely similair to your sponsors password. Epass, digital banking etc etc...

never the less, I think every affiliate should make sure their payment details were not changed.
most chances the intention of this "hacker" is only the email addresses for spam use but he can also (for example) change the epass id of the affiliate to one of his own and the money can get transfered like nothing.
this can be a matter of days or even hours depending on the revenue of the affiliate.
and because no matter what the affiliate changes about the payment details - the hacker can change it back:
even if it sounds a little harsh I think all NATS system using sponsors should hold all affiliate credit fund transfers until the whole issue is closed and re- secured.
