an update,
I managed to track/trace the hacker steps, he managed to access only one page from Revenue Giants, which had the Birthday list, that list has many but not all affiliates email address.
the fields he got are:
1. username
2. date of birth
3. email address
we checked it carefully nothing else was hacked, and the seeds we had there on birthday list were all received same emails were other not on birthday list didn’t receive an email so we verified our findings to be acurate.
I’m still upset but I’m also more relived now, it is only emails not other private info, they don’t even have names of the affiliates, so they didn’t manage to hack the database with more secure info. Anyhow, to feel better we still increased the security on RG site.
I hope you can understand it was only temporary bad luck on one page and nothing was done maliciously and it could happen to everybody, and the best thing I’m glad none of my team did it, it would have been devastating :shooter:
also, thanks guys for the help and understanding, as well those who PM me. especially Jam that gave me great guides to be able to track it down, I really appreciate it!!! :thumbsup::kisser:

Malci :hattip::wink-wink
