Lee,

As a US citizen with both my SSN and wire info POSSIBLY compromised. I am scared. That is actually an understatement. I am in the process of buying the condo of my dream. And any identity theft will possibly kill that and cost me 1,000s of dollars in legal fees to fix.

It APPEARS that TMM has many enemies. Now, people say they just wanted email addys. From my experience hackers don't hack for email addys when SSN and bank details are there as well. These all can be sold on the black market for a GOOD price.

I don't believe that TMM's list of enemies will stop at this situation. Just doesn't add up.

What I am looking at in this industry is how safe my data is. Has CCBill, Epoch, or Verotel been hacked? Not to my understanding. So I feel SAFE with them.

I am in the process of putting bogus information in programs that I don't use and asking them to be canceled. I will not signup to another NATS program. Plain and Simple. Probably ever.

It's a shame as NATS has a great tool as far as reporting and cascading goes.

We too are in the CCbill beta and from the talk I had w/ Ccbill today it's looking like it might be a NATS killer. Yes, it has campaign tracking (a feature affiliates have asked me about.)

Bottom line - There is PLENTY of money to be made in this industry w/o NATS and still have your data safe. I am taking that route.

Hell, I only market a handful of sites actively now and none are NATS. I may just get all my accounts deleted.

Since I figured out how to figure out what URL are making sales in ccbill stats those are looking nicer all the time.

Best,
Lloyd
