FREEHOLD, N.J. - Too Much Media maintains that unauthorized access to clients' installations of its NATS back-end management system only occurred recently and was not widespread, but some affiliate-program owners say the apparent security hole in the software has existed for at least a year.
One program owner who asked not to be identified because he feared retaliation from TMM said he discovered evidence about 18 months ago of possible unauthorized access using an administrative-level password belonging to TMM.
Another said his network of Web servers developed severe performance issues "over a year ago." He said investigation by his hosting company revealed repeated access attempts by someone using a NATS admin-level username and password.
