The ICQ's I have been getting all day are fucking unreal as to who knew about the exploit as it effected them as far back as a YEAR. This has been going on for a long time to lots of programs and I am totally disgusted right now.
Take it a step further - The programs benefiting from these lists being used/mailed promoting their products  Anyone here feeling fucking violated?
John again thank you for your support and getting that email out. I'm still shaking my head as to why it took you so long. You've know about this for a long time there is 100% no question about that. But at least you did it and now people are aware and can lock down to stop this shit.
Instead of covering this issue up you now look like a hero just from that one email. Go figure |
What we have found in the past lead us to believe it was not widespread and that we could prevent it via doing what we did. I think we prevented a lot of it and I do not believe it as far wide spread as some people here seem to enjoy making it out to be. As we have now seen the issue pop up again we have taken even further action against any problems continuing.
Nothing is going to prevent this from happening 100% in the future. The average server security in this industry is horrible. And many people with very bad security insist they know everything about it and are 100% secure. We have assisted a number of clients privately in helping them secure their servers which they claimed were bullet proof.
Unfortunately we are dealing with criminals here. They will continue to hack servers, be they NATS clients, clients of other software, or whatever. If NATS could magically prevent people's servers from being compromised I would be a very retired man.
