The NATS program that had been breached are now secure, that isn't false.

It was a bot, going in and pulling, it appears, 5 reports from the admin/webmaster cvs reports. These reports pull member and webmaster data when transactions come through. I think this is why Webmaster baited emails were hit harder than member emails. Harder to see who is fresh and who isn't with Members, without running an sql query.

It's great that there is work being done and that you're a part of it  |
This needed to happen, NATS needed to improve its security. It doesn't need all these people that have never used NATS telling Webmasters what they view the problem is.
So when people are saying it isn't secure, well.. You are right, but neither is any other affiliage program for that mater, or google, or anyone. So nobody can ever give the 100% all clear vote, we can only state what we know....
That nats is clear of the issue it had and we should all move on and start making more money.
