Now that KVS has reveal their questionable business model, I've changed all my FFP login/passwords. Who knows if they get routed to KVS servers or not especially since reverse engineering the program is against their ToS. I have a legitimate GTC account and no way I'm putting those credentials into KVS.
Seems like KVS is being a little aggressive, given that what
seawolf did was simply monitor what's going on with their computer.
I'm disappointed in KVS' recent actions, and their further response to questions. Of course they never told users to abuse a institution's lack of security, they just provided "hints".
KVS is certainly a useful tool, and I actually didn't even use availability (ExpertFlyer for that). But even though the award searching seems to be fine, I don't expect to be renewing (which, unfortunately, won't be until September 2015). I'll lose some of the convenience, but I don't feel that KVS is worth supporting for now.
