NO one is. Thanks to JessiT, it seems they are working something else on our backs. as I've read any further, they seem to have change their private policy for some reason. am scared sh*T about what's happening. how could have I been so stupid, were a i gonna go from here. every one has the right to be ANONYMOUS! and this is how we are paid back in years of being active simply because we were getting paid? NOT ALL people in this site are ready to expose themselves to the public NET, that's why they choose mylot. specially those who are rich ones, or probably celebrities in hiding or something. but this, come on. not a referral link.. http:.//mylot.testdrivemywebsite.com/ Our privacy in terms of our REAL NAMES had been violate. I feel not safe, so MYLOTTERS, what do you think about it? so much regret. am thinking of boycotting..hate to loose contact from all of you. i mean, can you really put up with this??

Are you joking me...???? I just looked at the reference link...just reading the link...and I note that it has been changed from https...to http, and just reading a caution from my ISP (sent to me 3 days ago)it warned me any site without the "S" at the end of http is NOT a secure site, and any, and ALL of your personal data is free game! I am totally appalled if this is true....and SCARED! Boy...I didn't see this coming...

that is not right about s added to http are not secured sites because many bank accounts which are into trading on stock market have the s. So I think that is not true.

Hello pergammano, there was another discussion made by jessie in this interest that proves it. they are creating a similar twitter like site mylot but our "REAL" names are posted i think this was in our account when we registered to mylot. their excuse is that not all companies that associated with mylot applies to the same privacy policy, but they changed theirs with out telling us.

@Letraknight....I stand by my statement that my ISP sent me a warning about ..it is one of the largest ISP in Western Canada (we only have a few)....and I did NOT even think about myLot, as I remember distinctley WHEN I SIGNED UP...there was a privacy agreement! (I got this computer (new to me) for Christmas..I feared the internet..I had my son (whom gave me the computer) confirm that it was a safe site and concurred about the privacy agreement) It is STILL VIVID in my mind! Furthermore, I also use a site advisor...myLot has been GREEN (as in GO)...and since this has been brought to my attention this morning...I just looked..at it is GREY (which means caution..lack of security) EGADS! I guess now the damage is done...what the He!! are we going to do?????

Are you trying to create a scare or trying out a joke and that address that you have put up there, it comes as invalid address.

helo anuraa32, sorry i put a period and didn't create the hyper link. but if your going to check jessiet's topic, the link is there. i felt stabbed in the back here, am not trying to scare any one nor a prank but this has really hit us to those who found out about this. check the other related topics, at least three of them talks about this. so sad.

letran I do not like that either as I value my privacy here on hte lot. To do that to us without our knowledge is just not right at all and I think they do owe use a real apology as well as more earnings too.

Hello Hatley, how are you? well i think it was a blessing in disguise that we were able to see it so that we could complain if the new revamp thing is right for us or not. well, they have apologize but some how i don't feel comfortable with this new revamp of theirs. i never felt good or comfortable with the new feature.

nobody is actually safe. My yahoo email account has been compromised last month after 5 years of using it. Well, I was not able to open it anymore until now. I just made a new one. The issue about the privacy here in mylot was discussed also by Mr Lamb whom they have identified the real people involved about this. I don't know about the boycotting part. The admin had already explained their side.

Its the internet...Nobodies privacy is really ever safe. Who you are can be found out easily unless you are giving false info. I hate to be the bringer of bad news but I doubt anyone of importance is one here. I cant help but wonder what insane things people are writing that would have them in such a tizzy?! Mylot has apologized and fixed the issue, they made a mistake and fixed it, its is over move on.

Hello arpazia, I don't mind if it's my username that they can find, but i can't stand is that they would find me here with my real name on it, which is sucks. been here in a while and i never like the idea of my real name being expose and use here or else i might limit my own discussions that would prevent me from being noticed by people that i know.

I understand what you mean, I was just saying the Internet isn't really safe at all and you're never really anon unless you've given false info:) Hopefully you stick around mylot!

Nowadays with the new technologies it seems that everything can be uncover, so be it who are they why should you be afraid. Are you sure they can identify you in person? with this scenario somebody can pretend to be you. You've nothing to be afraid feel secured. Just do it good everything is okay in every offense there is always a defense. Being afraid is curtailment of your being free so don't be afraid and they will be the one to be afraid and that's for real.

Hello teotimoponcero, One thing am doing right now is not to upload so much pictures in facebook or any other social networking site for that matter. well, there are people who likes to do crimes and black mailing on the internet when ever it is possible. we have to be careful even though am not afraid.
