Hi,
I wrote the first post, and I would like to clarify that I do think RevenueGiants is a good company, their reputation here seems fine – that’s why I signed up with them.
For many years I have used a unique email address for every single site when I register, and in the past I have found numerous times that spam started being received at a unique address due to a programming ‘leak’ that allowed public access to a site’s database. For example, sometimes it is possible to login with one account, then manipulate the URL or the site’s cookies to gain access to information from other accounts. That was the case with a large webmaster forum that I was a member of, and when I reported it they just ignored the issue. So when I received this spam to my RevenueGiants email address, I reported the problem publicly in the hope that it is properly investigated – and it seems that Malci is doing this, so until further evidence comes to light I will give RevenueGiants the benefit of the doubt and continue using their program.
I will provide them with some additional information that could hopefully help if the problem was a leak, although it probably won’t be enough. Also, even if they are a good company with ethical privacy practices and a secure database, it doesn’t stop 1 rogue employee from making some money on the side… but that could happen to any company. In any case, thanks Malci for investigating.
Regards,
Jam
