Well it seems like NATs maybe isnt the great affiliate program it has been made out to be, i got a phone call earlier telling me to check out GFY about the thread detailing how affiliate programs using NATs could be accessed by someone and all affiliate and surfer data could be stolen.
How many of you folks use programs that utilize NATs and how concerned are you that your personally identifiable data could have been compromised?
For anyone wanting to follow this 'as it happens' here is the thread on GFY:

I remember saying a couple of years back on GFY that NATs shouldnt be trusted 100% as data and shave proof but everyone laughed when i said it, now it would appear 2 years on, i was right.
Of course the much bigger issue now, with TMM also now owning SegPay, how much of the data availble in the SP database is also vunerable, customer accounts, social security numbers, webmaster names and addresses etc.
