If a network was hacked

14 replies
If a network were to be hacked, all offers deleted, and info leaked, do you think it would destroy the network for good? No, I'm not going to attempt it. I was just in a debate earlier which somebody who wants to kill their competition.

PLEASE don't say it's impossible, I know it is and can be done. I just don't want 20 people saying their security is impossible to beat or anything like that.

    For good? Maybe.

    But you'd be risking quite a bit to carry out something like that.

      It's easier than people think to hide yourself, and yes for good. Just debating

    I think this would really depend on the people behind the network. If a network is smart they will have current backups of everything, then after that it would just be all about PR.

      How do you think people would feel with their logs all over the place though?

    Once again people thinking it can't be done and questioning me. It can be done, not wanting to do it, just asking.

        My opinion: if it was a new network with not too experienced staff, it's very possible it would ruin them for good.

        If it was a well-established network with back-ups and things like that to avoid hacks, they could survive.

          It's some kind a normal process and actually everyday some guys try to hack CPA networks or at least try to make them lose money.

          There are pissed ex-affiliates, fired fraudsters, hacker kids, IT freaks, network competitor, all of these guys work hard everyday to make CPA Network and affiliates lives harder and because of jealousy they want to make you broke and loser like them.

          Every day regular attacks [Like DDOS Attacks and other crap] been executed on popular CPA networks almost of us are working with, but they keep it secret to keep their reputation.

          Yes, we all are going to lose if a CPA network is hacked specially people who are using paid traffic which i think 80% of CPA real affiliates, but i believe that each Million dollar/ day industry must worry about these stuff and shouldn't mind to hire security professionals for couple thousands of dollar per month to stop these craps and make there business and our business safe or they they should pay their affiliates for approximate regular rates they are making if they lost money at paid traffic.

          Everything is possible and you should be ready.

    sure, you could hack and destroy anything. we could also burn your house down or start a war, but what's really the point of it?

    If it's a million dollar per day business surely they have decent security to prevent/limit it from impacting their business?!
