        The TMM login name seems pretty generic and long. AFAIK, there isn't one master access user/pass that accesses all installs.

        John said in another thread that it "fully appears to be a compromised password list", so I guess the TMM passwords all got out somehow.

        Looks like that's all closed now as he also stated "We have changed our policy so that we no longer maintain ANY passwords to ensure this does not happen via us ever in the future"

          So, to summarise, since John's last post has gotten buried in a lot of FUD

          It looks like a password list has gotten out so NATS owners should contact TMM to see if their customer data has been compromised. OC3 ([email protected]) have also said they can help people with this.

          TMM have or are in the process of changing all TMM passwords throughout their client base.

          TMM have now taken additional security measures by not storing all passes on their end to prevent this happening again.

          TMM are adding additional security measures (1-way encrypted passes) in future NATS releases.

          So, if I'm not mistaken, any current NATS owners should now be secured (or over the next day or two) from further compromise via this route.

          But, in all, everyone, nomatter what software you use, should take database security very seriously and daily audit any accounts (ssh/mysql/web-based) that have privilege access.

          Looks like this issue has come to resolution, so I'm off to enjoy my holidays

            It wouldn't be the first time it had happenned and it wouldn't be the first time someone got an admin's password and used it on other machines either.

            I thought NATS were more security conscious than most though

                NATS haters unite..lol. TMM is awesome and unliKe most other companies in the industry are on the problems before or as they happen. Its funny you see the shady programs come in here to bash nats when they are the most suspect. Your stats scare the shit out of me....0/10ooo+.

                DO NOT TRUST PROGRAMS THAT HAVE CUSTOM BACKENDS. THEY ARE THE ONES TO WATCH FOR.

                  thats funny because they were aware of this problem many moons ago and yet instead of fixing the problem they put the blame on their customers. meanwhile MY personal information was stolen.. that doesnt sound like being "on the problem" this issue has been going on for MONTHS.

                  you must be the "exception" to the rule , i have never seen any sponsors "bashing" nats , and i think any long term webmaster has noticed non-nats sponsors perform better as a whole.

                    p.s. i should also mention at this point that one of the only sponsors i have heard from that WASN'T hacked was mayors money, and this is because THEY went thru extra security measures above and beyond.

                    big props to mayors money, your info is secure

                      i wonder if one of their security measures will be to listen to their clients and stop blaming their customers for their own security problems.

                        I haven't checked everyone and as I do have updated - corrected them. Thus far, these 4 programs do not have any logins from that IP.

                        This is a short list of the SEVERAL that use the NATS built in security features that protect your members, webmasters, and admin data.

                        NATS has the security features already - question is which sponsors are using them?

                            You need to be checking not for just that IP, but *any* IP on the TMM account that isn't TMM's (67.84.12.95)

                                Aye, I know this.. When the NATS systems are IP locked, nobody but the allowed IP's can access the backend.

                                  i would find it very unlikely they "only" grabbing emails of members.

                                  the bot is likely used to maintain the list thats why it accesses so often but the affiliate info would likely only be grabbed once making it alot harder to spot amongst the hundreds of email grabs

To reset an affiliates pass if they forgot it in the backend is nothing, so 1-way encryption would have been far better. John posted in another thread that this is to be included in NATS4. Shame it wasn't sooner IMPO.
                                        Perhaps I'm misremembering, but I coulda sworn that affiliate passwords were displayed... is the encryption something that's changed in the last eighteen months?

                                        And even if passwords are not available, I do, certainly, remember the 'become reseller' option... can affiliates examine their own password via their account's interface, or no? If "no," maybe the case is that I've misremembered, and would appreciate confirmation on that.

                                        Been awhile, and I don't have an updated version of NATs in front of me to play around with.

                                          I haven't checked everyone and as I do have updated - corrected them. Thus far, these 4 programs do not have any logins from that IP.

                                          This is a short list of the SEVERAL that use the NATS built in security features that protect your members, webmasters, and admin data.

                                          NATS has the security features already - question is which sponsors are using them?
                                          Add TastyDollars to that list.

                                          We had 1 login from that NATS admin account and the date matched on the day they were doing some work for us.

                                          We have also deleted that account just to extra carefull.

                                              Yes, this is true. Both affiliate (including admin users who are stored as affiliates) and members (surfer joins) are stored in plaintext.

Its funny you see the shady programs come in here to bash nats when they are the most suspect. Your stats scare the shit out of me....0/10ooo+.

                                                        then again , if the head programmer at nats has his password compromised its likely they "could" use nats ip to connect and get the info the same way.

                                                                As mentioned in this thread previously by Uno, our 'version' of nats, has been 'customized' to such extent, we no longer recieve updates from NATS(TMM). This also means we have been taking measures to prevent issues such as this one, via additional security measures that were taken almost 2 years ago.

                                                                In a nutshell: Our information is safe.

                                                                This is a constant struggle for all of us and we're doing our best to make sure our systems and sites are as safe as they can be, on a continuous basis.

                                                                I am sorry to see others have problems, but it is definately not the case for us.

This also means we have been taking measures to prevent issues such as this one, via additional security measures that were taken almost 2 years ago.

                                                                    In a nutshell: Our information is safe.

                                                                    I am sorry to see others have problems, but it is definately not the case for us.

TMM is awesome and unliKe most other companies in the industry are on the problems before or as they happen. Its funny you see the shady programs come in here to bash nats when they are the most suspect. Your stats scare the shit out of me....0/10ooo+.

                                                                                                    Lets not forget the thread last year that revealed the fact that NATs has a built in feature that allows program owners to approve/disapprove an affiliates sale.
                                                                                                    Everything is hackable, every program, every server, every host, at some point, some software, something can have an sql, apache, unix, nats, email from - ect related.. Very common.

                                                                                                    NATS has never had a way to approve/disapprove an affiliates sale, ever. Please get your facts straight before posting such slander.

                                                                                                      nastydollars counts hits perfect
