It's not much I actively post, but this does sound strange to me?
Are we looking at this the wrong way?
I'm not accusing anyone for anything, but I personally know about several programs who have complained about this for many months, and who also told NATS about it.
And NOT just two months like John is saying, I would say more like a year atleast, if not longer.
I also know a few companies that found out that the NATS admin user was active so much and contacted TMM about it,
they got it fixed, but on top of that they were then told to shut up about it as well???
But why weren't all the other NATS clients contacted about this, and why didn't they just fix it with one of their updates?
I'm sure TMM have done a lot of updates on NATS the last year or so. SO WHY DIDN'T THEY DO ANYTHING??
Even though if this had been a "hack" on their own servers, where the "hacker" were able to steal the master password to all NATS programs.
WHY wouldn't they clean this up 3, 6 or 12 months ago?, When the first customers made them aware of this admin user being so active etc.
I wonder if they had their own reason to let this be open for as long as they possible could?
I totally understand that the Programs/people who use NATS are watching over their own bread and butter, and want to defend NATS.
TheDoc and notoldschool I wouldn't listen much to when it comes to NATS. TheDoc has been with them since day one and probably have more interests in this then most of you.
Notoldschool sounds almost like John "talking", so it wouldn't surprise me if they are the same?
But that might just be me.....
TMM also say that no creditcard numbers get stored by NATS, well what is this then?
