then thats what you should have said, if you make innacurate statements like a person with admin access to nats couldn't cause the server sever load problems then i have to set you straight.

thats your bottom line , mine is not only did you get hacked which is understandable but you also failed to properly investigate or notify and still choose to smooth this over instead of fixing things.
I keep hearing "no credit card info was stolen " , unless nats has manually scanned every program for individual hacks that resulted from their OWN password list being stolen, then they shouldnt be saying that.. it is very possible a sponsor has had credit card info stolen.

that sounds about right
although the bottom figure is a bit unrealistic, a fresh unspammed credit card in hand customer email is gold.

i think if you are trading your "prime cut" emails you are silly and devaluing your own product.
REAL sponsors trade their no-rebills , no cc list they dont trade their fresh credit card in hand members list.

i think YOU severely exaggerated what was said. first you claimed they said the server was "brought to its knees" when this was never mentioned instead they said the server had sever performance issues . thats what is called an exaggeration. then you questioned that one person could cause severe performance issues using an administration password , its clear they can.
