 I wonder how much the retainer fee is and if they already blew through it with printing out GFY threads. "For June 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007 the rates are as follows: 20+ years of experience, $425 per hour; 11-19 years, $375; 8-10 years, $305; 4-7 years, $245; 1-3 years, $205; and Paralegals/law clerks $120"  | 
		
 THe guys at MPA3 seem really nice and patient, where as John from nats seems like the evilchris type of guy, don't get me wrong this is just from observing the drama that goes on but from an honest opinion from the outside even though I agree minusonebit is a retard, John isn't handling this well at all.

 I am amazed at all the responses here. The "BRO CLUB" is deep... 
	all i can say is that if i lost any data, (email, personal, members, etc) due to a 3rd party application, i would be pretty pissed off...  |

 So the question is why did they take so long to look into it, not fix it and try to keep it quiet? Incompetent and don't want people to know. Or. Dishonest? There are no other answers. Yes I feel for the companies that went the way of NATS. But you made a bad decision and did not keep a good enough control on who you were dealing with. As Chimera says you can keep burying your head in the sand and stick with a company that's incompetent or dishonest. Heaven help us if they had put up a site with a few magic join links.  |

 If we are to believe TheDoc then hacking is a real problem. Hackers are very devious, persistent and a threat. So why is he supporting someone who clearly does not think they are? Someone who ignores to look at the problem properly? Now are TMM bright enough to program something like NATS and so dumb they do not understand that hackers are a problem? I come back to the same question every time, incompetent or dishonest. They have to be one or the other.  |

 Paul and Will76, did both of you end up with the short ends of the stick? 
	Yeah, we know hacks/exploits targeted at NATS have taken place for years. Every host, program owner, and webmaster knows this. It's not some secret that you guys want to find out about. NATS job is NOT to provide security. It’s to provide a program backend, only. YOUR job is to secure it, your hosts and yours, period. So how did those accounts get breached before? That's very simple logic, let me help. When a NATS "Machine" is exploited they got your ass, your pw's, ect.. (Exploits targeted at NATS machines happen daily) Once they have the admin data they can start running the bot that pulls the data. So get it through your heads, NATS thought the attacks were different. Different enough that even Admins at the same host didn’t know it was the same attackers. Why don't you guys go bash the Program Owners who failed basic 101 security? Why not yell at the hosts they host with? NATS job is to provide us the software, not the security. I put my trust into my host, and my own skills not in software that I have ask for support on and can’t modify myself.  |

 Wow, now im am complete. I feel so accomplished now. maybe we should all call minusonut a bro so maybe he will get off our industries nuts. Not that it matters I will state again that I dont know one single person at nats other than when I need something done to my proggie. I do push quite a bit of traffic to all types of programs, and Im not talking the couple hundred clicks most of you part time affiliates push, and I know for a fact that most of the nats programs work a shit load better than some of the other garbage back ends some of these shady ass programs have. I work it from both ends so I know what proggies to stay away from because of their homemade backend. Nats is great software for sure. Atleast We know about what happened with nats and that its fixed. Im also sick of you bitches that call yourselfs adult webmasters trying to ruin a biz that in reality you are not even part of. Let me spell it out, if you have been in the biz more than a year and your not pushing atleast 10000 uniques a day somewhere, then you are NOT and adult webmaster and should keep your limited knowledge to yourselfs. You just sound like the idiots that you are.  |

 NATS is looking into things, they have stated they are hunting down the hacker. Of course they can't comment more, I wouldn't either, nobody doing an investigation would. Logic people, logic...  |

 Hosts didn't know it was the same attacker each time doing the same thing in different ways. Not until recently at least and once people started posting on GFY, then people put two and two together, we saw it right here, live. Yes, I'm sure a couple of hosts knew something was going down, but they sure as hell didn't talk about it, fear, pfft.. If John ever threatened me for exposing an exploit I would have blasted his ass all of the boards. Anyone that wouldn't do the same is weak minded. NATS has a ticket system. You have to post in for all support, ect. And icq history for those they talk to on ICQ. If all these clients really had these problems, threats, ect about the hacks/ips, exploits then why don't they just post the tickets? I'm sure people have tickets, I do, but they show NATS helping and not threating. NATS isn't perfect, boy it's far from perfect. Clients already knew this - guess it was only time for Webmasters to find out. Support isn't the fastest, they don't always work on weekends, and you don't always get the right support person smart enough to help with your complex problem. And since NATS doesn't monitor my NATS/server 24/7 - I take security into my own hands and my hosts, as it should be.  | 
		
 so you're saying this recently exposed hack was done by the same guy that did the previous exploit? 
	 | 
		
 They better shut up about all this until they have concrete answer backed up 
	with facts and/or proof in a well written statement.....the guessing and insinuations aren't doing any side good at this point.......well except for entertainment of course........fuck it.....continue  | 
		
 Quote: 
	
 So other than the login ip - no I don't have any real proof it's the same people. Other than over the last several months. But my point was more than they attack us in several ways - but they always appear to get the data the same exact way once they are in. Do you have something that points that it's more than one group/person?  |

 to have happened....added with all the bullshit that every program could get hacked just as the servers they're on.....that's all nice and dandy but it's completely irrelevant to the argument........ Well ok....not completely it only serves the purpose to divert the negative attention to a different subject in order to make it seem less bad as it already is. So now you probably say.....well is that so? So what's the part then that DOES matter about all this...... Brace yourselves here it comes.......The fact that it happened, TMM knowing about it for a LONG time and didn't take proper action and informed their clients about it.......making it appear...(I'll keep it polite tonight) that they were trying to hide it hoping they'd be able to fix situation before it blew up in their face like it did recently...... That's all.....continue the discussion please and show us what's your interest in this by judging the arguments you come up with...... :2 cents:  |

 Sad as it is, if this didn't come out on the boards it wouldn't have been fixed. They didn't know wtf to look for. It blew up in their faces because they aren't security admins and the true fact that John's ego blocks his brain waves sometimes doesn't help. But we all already know this.. We all know nats fucked up, no reason to bring up the dead horse another 1000000 times. The lesson to be learned, again... Is security is YOUR responsibility and not NATS. And I thought we were talking about previous hacks/exploits with NATS? Do you even use NATS?  |
