And you are wrong.. NATS DID INFORM clients. They have been telling clients about the IP ADMIN feature for a long time. And after every ticket they tell you to change FTP/SSH passwords and anything else they had access too. The program owner has total control over all admin accounts, who can and when they can access. This info is in the KB, it's talked about during the Setup, and is the first thing you see in the Config Admin.

We know TMM had a security issue of some sort. However if the Program used the basic 101 security features that comes with all NATS installs then they wouldn't have had the problem to begin with.

So yeah, I know TMM screwed up - but they aren't the only ones to blame.
I NEVER got told to about the possibility of someone using the nats admin login to access my nats installation. I do change my ssh/ftp login. This was not a breach by ssh/ftp, this was a breach by someone using the nats login that I was told would be "appreciated to be left". So if you got different info from just about every NATS program then you're a lucky guy ....
