Does anyone know what the error on the SDM site was?
I bump this thread up because I think that as the bonus redemption is coming, when you log in to your account around those days, you gotta be careful, especially if you are transferring points, I myself wouldn't log in to my account since next week then, who knows if the hackers are waiting for us or not!!
Good point! i was also thinking this thats why any point transfering I have been doing im trying to get all done this week :)
I still think shoppers took or Clawed back the points but wouldn't admit it as they did it again near the other redemption and forgot they had a new system that showed they clawed back the points. They gave back the other points. Now they are finding accounts to freeze to try and stop people from Redeeming.
sdm changed my postal code back too when i used a diff one
People who never ever traded with anyone got points taken. Someone's mom got her wiped and she isn't even a member of SC, let alone traded. I believe those people got their points back though.Quote:

omg so are you guys implaying loggin onto the online points site may not be safe? I had no idea and do it like everyday ....gulp. well used to know after reading the last few posts
I was one who never traded with Crispie, but I did trade with Sulley, but at the time it was made clear that they were NOT the same person... but it eventually came to light that they were. I am sure she/he drained my account.Quote:

This is why I don't bother to get involved in any of the stuff going on around here anymore.
Hopefully this year is better than last year for those that had a tough time.
Crispiecream also wrote me a very nasty note asking for me to apologize for naming her as the stealer of Optimum points. Even after the mods told everyone it was not her I still knew it was her but I could not prove it a 100%. I still have a bad taste in my mouth about that.Quote:

The whole situation never made sense. Points being redeemed in different cities, people who've never traded having points taken away. People not on SC having points stolen. Given the extent of the whole kcup thing I suspect it was a multi person operation involving multiple websites/groups. The whole kcup thing involved stolen credit cards and all kinds of illegal activity. There was so much more to it then just a couple hundred thousand points stolen.
Even with all the bad things happened, SDM did not do anything about the log in, 1 simple step for the IT department to take: is to ask for 2 of the questions, instead of 1, DOB & PCOde, or password & Pcode, it will only take the IT person 1 minute to improve the security of the login.
Changes would mean they accept their system is faulty and they won't do that.Quote:

Still very easy to steal points.
SDM has so far done nothing about it :(
Not that hard to get someones Optimum number and postal code .
Imagine if someone could clean up your bank acoount or credit card account , just bcoz they have your debit/ cc number and postal code.
So how is this any different ? The points were worth hundreds of dollars in some cases :(
