Hey affilate rep assholes... stop putting my username and password in my SPAM
 

Hey affilate rep assholes... stop putting my username and password in my SPAM every fucking month with your FHGs! What I let a domain go, forgot to update your backend and someone setup a catch all?

Fucking idiots. Send me the galleries, send me the Xsells, I dont fucking care. Keep my scripted personal info out of it.

/rant

No kidding. I have been noticing it more and more lately, HORRIBLE practice for sure. :2 cents:

If I need my login information, I will request it.

we put the username but NOT the pasword due to personal protection of our affiliates. If you dont want the username also please contact me and I wont add your username in the emails.

very dumb practice

A lot more companies should be doing this :2 cents:

Thanks, we like to keep our affilaite info secure and make sure noone gets there private info.

"just in case you forgot your password..."

We never put your password in newsletters or any email announcements, we only ever provide your password upon request.

We include your username in FHG links and other affiliate links in the newsletter/announcements for ease of use. Please get in touch with me if you're having any problems with WEGCash mailouts.

YES I agree, I hate getting emails with that info in it, it defeats the entire purpose of having a password for that.

Jebus. Who the hell is doing that?

Probably the same peeps that put your email info in the "to" or "cc" field in any mass mailing, and not "bcc."

The username/password dealio's almost worse.

lolll.

who did that? thats pretty dumb.

lol, nevermind, just found out. figured i'd check my email since i am signed up to most programs. sure enough i found two that sent it like that.

im having some big problems with this

Agreed. I hate nothing more than seeing this in a weekly or daily newsletter. :(

That's a really idiotic practice. May be next time you will put there my bank info along with the detailed stats?

Almost? :error

Yay... next time put your banking information in the Subject line too!! :)

Yeah... almost. They're both bone-headed, no doubt, but - since you press the issue - I still think actively sharing my email address with dozens, if not hundreds, of strangers is a bit more bone-headed than passively sending my personal information to another because I fail to keep my information secure/up to date.

Just my own opinion, though.

I guess it depends on how soon before the next email you modified it. Or if you just do it after each newsletter. :)

What's worse, is that if you can see your password unencrypted in the email messages sent to you, it means they are also unencrypted in the databases on the systems....extremely bad practice, not to mention extremely insecure.

Nats uses a 2 way cipher for its webmaster passwords. Not sure on the security of that, i'm sure anyone w/ a copy could make a hash table reasonably quickly, but at least they're not plaintext.

Might as well be plain text. If you have access to the cipher you can create...well, you obviously have the idea.

Security through obscurity, which relies on ioncube / zend.
Hey, you don't have to tell me. Like I say, it'd be a trivial exercise to make a hash table.

Here is one:

And another
:disgust

please add also my epasspote user as i always forget the name
