Casino Email Database Leaked?

[Guard Dog]

Hey Daniel,

There is a problem either with our casino player information being sold (by AffActive) -OR- a breach in your database. My account at one of your casinos has a VERY SPECIFIC email address. That email address was just SPAMMED by an affiliate.

I'm NOT thrilled about this and want an answer. I will find out regardless of your help, so please be honest.

maybe they're the affiliate so they can pay themselves.

Luckily I DO know that is not the case I would have had an entirely different post here if I had found that out. However - I do not know if the database was freely given, given at a price, or stolen.

Luckily I never worked with them.
I made some negotiation experiences last year with Rick an AM at affactive, very aggressive methods to ask for cooperation's.
He even found out my private mobile number and called endless times, very annoying.
I wouldn't be surprised if they steal players this way, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Hi,

Sorry, been away for few days.

We for sure don't sell our data and from what i know it is safe.

I understand that you can't share any details at this point, but after you finish your check please let me know and we will go over the case. At this point this is the best i can offer.

Ocportal: I have to say that not sure how this is related. You do have an account with us and we do try to contact people that signed up and hopefully to start working together.

I fully understand that how you want to be contacted, frequency, etc is very personal and I apologies if it was
"too much".

Best regards,
Daniel

I am also receiving SPAM from an affactive aff that contains my legal name.

The ONLY way to get the info on my legal name, was to gain access to affactives records on me.

The ONLY time I use my legal name is when I am Banking at a certain Bank... The Bank that I only used with affactive.

There is no doubt at all that affactives data base that contains info on affiliates is out there and being used by a affiliate for affactive.

I have actually closed that particular bank account because of this security breach.

I have NO DOUBT that the information was leaked from affactive.

My only question is if they sold the info or if it was stolen... After my experience with them. I personally lean toward them selling our data.

Hi Lots0,

Don't fully understand: why would we sell the list of our affiliates? Besides that, i assume since you are a long time affiliate, that we are not the only ones that sent you wires.

I will of course check this out, but if you can PM me with some details- it would help.

Best regards,
Daniel

Rather obvious... for Money...

As I wrote, I only used this specific bank account with your affiliate program.
So the only possible explanation is that the data came from YOUR company.

Daniel, I sent you a email about this very thing some time ago, along with a copy of one of the spam emails. You never responded to it.
I see no need to PM you anything. My information is already out there and being used... Your not going to be able to change that fact.

I actually though it was only me that had their personal account information in the hands of a spammer till I saw Andy's post.

Next time I get one of these spams, I will be happy to forward it to you again

We do not sell aff lists. First, these are our partners and we do try keep it that way (and i think you will agree that we did try to do everything we could think of to keep our partnership working).

Have no idea how much people pay for lists of affs but don't think it will cover a day of these same affiliates...

Best regards,

I don't know if you sold the info, gave it away or it was stolen.
All I know for a fact, is that the info is out there and it could ONLY have come from your company.

I said I was 'leaning toward' you selling the info. That is my personal opinion.

You did go above and beyond to try to keep me as an affiliate... But I made the decision not to work with you any more and you know why.
However, our past history has nothing to do with the current situation.
