What to do with Adbrite?

[rtt.pyro]

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with Adbrite and im wondering if any of you are able to offer some advice.

I am fairly new to the online advertising world and I have been with adbrite for roughly 4 months. Things were going pretty well until about a week ago.

For test purposes, I keep my computer's clock set to 2006 and I alternate between google chrome and ie6. (It may seem odd to you, but I assure you I have my reasons.)

Starting last week, I would be randomly logged into some one else's account everytime I would visit adbrite. (This only happened in chrome.)

After figuring out that it wasnt a one in a million error, I realized that other people with malicious intent could very well be looking at my account and all of my personal information.

Fearing the worst, I contacted adbrite via their contact form and filled them in on what was happening. I told them that I suspected it was a cookie error that was some how caused by my less then typical setup. I initially suspected it was a cookie error because it only happened when I would check the "remember me" box on adbrite and then exit and revisit.

After a day or 2, Adbrite replied and told me that no suspicious activity was on my account and that I should clear my cookies to resolve the issue. I have a few issues with this response. For starters, even if that proposed solution actually worked, which it didnt, that would not stop the main problem - people with malicious intent. There is no way that a person with malicious intent would kindly agree to clear their cookies so that they could no longer access random accounts. This is clearly an issue that needs to be fixed on adbrite's side, not the user's side.

After telling adbrite my mind about their solution three days ago, I have yet to hear back from them. This wasnt a problem as they told me my account was fine. Sadly, my fears were confirmed today. I was looking at my ad statistics when I noticed the "minimum payment" amount was incorrect. After closer inspection, I noticed that everything in my account had been changed! Check payable name, address, phone, email, everything! Well, I take that back, they were kind enough to leave my tax id number.

I quickly took a screen shot, emailed adbrite, reset my info, and changed my password.

Even though I did not think they had gained access to my account via my password, but rather a forged cookie, I decided to reset it anyway. Also, if it had been a stolen password, they could have easily changed my password to something else to prevent me from accessing my account at all. (Adbrite requires the current password in order to change it to a new password.)

A few hours after sending my email to adbrite and reseting my info, I decided to take a look at my stats once again. To my dismay, all of my info has been changed again. This time, the intruder did not decide to input his own info in an attempt to steal my earnings, but rather he filled all of the fields with spam. ("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"). To rule out the possibility of it being a password logger, I ran several spyware/antivirus/malware scans on my computer. They all turned up clean. Also, I went to another computer and used it to reset my password just in case there was an invisible logger on my other computer.

If you have managed to read that entire posting, I applaud you for your effort or your overall need to kill time. You currently know all of the details to my unpleasent situation. If you do not mind, please give me some advice on what I should do. At this point, im pulling my hair out, so anything will help.

Thanks in advance.
