OKay. Thanks for the info. Just wanted to hear that you check the times etc and are very careful. As you do, I think the site with password traders info is a great idea. Thanks for all the contributions to wetlook.

Mike.

Oh yes - we're careful. We easily travel to and around Europe from the UK. But when you see accesses from the UK and Holland just 7 minutes apart, it's quite obvious it's a shared or stolen password. And other examples like accesses from Japan, Italy, Spain and Canada within 24 hours. The world is small, but not THAT small that someone living in the US can reach all those places in one day.

A very goog idea, but please be careful before accusing someone. People can travel. Especially in Europe where the countries arent that big :-). I often go to Berlin and surf the net from there. And yes I visit paysites that I have legally joined to. It is not said that this is illegal. So either state that tis is illegal or be very carefull before exusing someone.

The fight against password trading

By Graham (Styx) - graham@styxwetworld.com Mon 08/03/04 22:27:54 GMT

Website:

In the continued fight against password-trading, Styx has extended its "Lost Souls" page. Originally it was only to locate people who we cannot get in touch with. Now it also covers people that we are investigating for possible password-trading. That's those people who lend or (worse) swap or sell their site password to someone else - depriving the site of funds to generate more photos and videos.

The tools we are now using have got very sophisticated. We are alerted to all non-authorised accesses or multiple accesses using the same username and password. We have no doubt that other sites do (or will be doing) the same soon.

The Styx page is http://www.styxwetworld.com/lostsouls.html

As we catch people trading passwords, we are building a database of information. We intend to extend this database to allow its use by other WAM producers. This effectively creates a blacklist of people who are not wanted as customers.

I hate negative posts, but there you go! So, here's a photo of one of my favourite models to make up for it.
