Security Breech from Bill Goodwin- UPDATE IN POST #77

[Republicaninmass]

Assume the non-compete is over

[Den*nis O*Brien]

..got the same email this AM. It looked so "Fishy" that I did not even open it...straight to delete. I am thankful to the OP and the other respondents that put me informed on this. I always had good phone contacts with Bill Goodwin on items in his past auctions. Always the low $ stuff but he was very helpful. But this is inexcusable and in this competitive market I do not need reckless and careless houses putting me at risk. Both parties are off of my list of places to do business with. Once again the Net54 community was vigilant and helpful in keeping us informed. Thank you...

Sincerely, Dennis O'Brien ( Name as per the rules on these matters...I think)

An unencrypted password is not a password; it is basically useless from a data integrity perspective.

Piss poor form by Goodwin. The subject line “your username and password” almost makes it comical, it’s that stupid.

When I saw an email address "bill@___," I thought, shoot, what I am getting a bill for?

[daves_resale_shop]

does anyone have a screenshot of the email. May be a spoof attempt to compromise the recipient, and not necessarily a data leak from goodwin... i’d be very careful in investigating the situation prior to ruling it a breach.
