They can take a brute force script + word-list.. and its just a matter of time before they have access to my account = my money

I like NATS because they encrypt the link - thanks guys... I wish more Programs would do the same

if someone is going to go thru the trouble of trying to brute force your affiliate account , they would just decrypt your username before they tried to crack it.. all the nats codes do for me is make it harder to add link codes.
