The agreement that she signed also has a clause against using personal information of our members for any other purpose than multi hunting. Of course, that doesn't mean she'll respect it, but there isn't so much damage she can do there. I made sure to pull the plug on her access before asking her to step down so that she doesn't try to sabotage things or collect personal info. But even if she did the worst it could be is your IP and email (maybe full name too) because we never store credit card numbers.

this is from Lack.
The fact that he removed her access before giving her the 'bad' news only confirms that's she was indeed ripe for the mental asylum. It doesn't rule out however that she grabbed all the information before she got booted.
No, it just shows that he was being extra cautious, as is prudent whether you suspect anything or not.
Suggesting that because Wicked showed a few people how to be multis means she is going to steal everyone's bank accounts, or even sell our emails is like suggesting that the kid who throws a firecracker in an empty street is likely to throw a live grenade.
That said, this did bring to light general security issues. Because, though I
highly, highly doubt Wicked would do anything really criminal, others might well
at some point.
As for the email and IP addresses ... the reality is if you do ANY transactions ANYWHERE, you are basically selling your information to
someone. Have firewalls, etc., be careful ... and periodically change your information.
