Yup- asking users to create those accounts was stepping over a line and starts to raise ethical and legal issues around hacking. In the past, I tolerated the seeming game of whack-a-mole that KVS was playing. Now that all the leaks are being plugged, it might be game over for that model. I've got about 1-2 days of waiting left and then am off to find a new tool.

My opinion on KVS turned when they started asking users to create illegitimate user accounts so that we can continue making donations to KVS. What KVS should have done is change their business model instead. The whack a mole model is not a sustainable business model.
