while it is unlikely it's possible they could have access to such information as affiliate data ( emails , encrypted password, ss#'s etc )

As soon as it hit here some sponsors were able to identify the problem, find the IP address logging in, when it logged in and how it logged in. It was not hard to find and it seems they blocked it.

ok, leaving aside the idea that the affiliate's email was stolen:
now NATS users (sponsors) need to disable this "nats admin" access in order to close the security hole ? and that's is regarding this issue ? after that the affiliate's data is (relatively) safe ?
