Bingo. Best thing is to set up your firewall to only allow certain IP's access to the SQL file. Basic security fixes like that can go a long way.
My guess would be that WTF didn't hack anything. They probably just bought an email list. I get offers to buy different program's email list at least a couple of times a month.
EVERYTHING is for sale.
But anyway...a good hosting company would have already made sure your NATS database is secure. A few simple steps to lock it down against "average" hacking. (nothing will stop a good hacker of course...nothing)
