<p>[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 3516385, member: 90666"]Sixbid have behaved disgracefully throughout this now long drawn out issue, and continue to do so. This is absolutely nothing to do with your passwords. Sixbid initially tried to say nothing at all and then whispered very quietly on their log in page. Now with the slightly larger message they continue to deliberately mislead customers in suggesting that it's a customer password issue when it is crystal clear that there's back-door (admin) access to the entire database including the bidding system and has been since March or earlier. Months after this known data breach the fraudsters apparently still have direct access to Sixbid's database sufficiently good to be sending out fake invoices to auctions that took place THIS WEEK (as shown by the warning messages sent by Nomos and NAC yesterday). Sixbid should have shut down the bidding platform entirely and re-established a fresh database on an unconnected platform and set up everyone from scratch with new credentials, perhaps with extra authentication. Instead they pretend to blame you, the customer, while the fraudsters still have live access to their bidding database THIS WEEK. This is regardless of how secure your passwords are because it is not using your passwords but using admin access. Needless to say I have quit Sixbid entirely (too late however as the fraudsters already have all my details, and they have yours too) and I would now urge everyone else here to do the same. There is a decent alternative (Numisbids).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
