NATS Security?

I am an affiliate of a program using NATS. My account has been hacked now twice. Once in November by that asshole in Canada and yesterday. Probably the same shitheel. Apparently a brute force password hack, although my password is 9 digits. The IP the hacker used is 162.219.176.58.

My question is, since I do not use NATS I don't know, does the NATS program have two factor login security? Does the NATS program allow the owner to limit login attempts? I should mention that I did not receive any notifications that there were account changes and I have them all set up.

Can someone just run a brute force attack on a NATS site until he gets a password? Oh, and by the way, my personal computer has not been hacked and the information did not come from me.

The real problem is all of my information is available now to the hacker including my social security number.

I would like to hear from the NATS people about their security solutions so I can inform this program how to tighten up their webmaster section.
