to update this thread
I just popped over to gfy and managed to catch a big thread about the NATS exploit/hole...
Paycom or NATS spamming our members? - GFY Webmaster Board
seems the NATS people really dropped the ball since this was known months ago...
nice to know that NATS was basically sitting on their hands this whole time while hackers have been stealing member data and possibly affiliate data too...
I was leaning towards using NATS for a project I have in the works, but after seeing this and those douchebag responses by John I'm going to stay far far away from NATS...
