weird. very weird. did they find a buyer like mypoints? or just got inundated by emails and decided to leave the site up despite going down?
First they were featured on ****edcompany.com as not accepting new customers. That page then disappeared. Then they had some farewell page, which again, before I could see it, disappeared...

I'm just guessing here but I heard that last week they laid off about half of their staff. The greatest hacking danger to websites is always internal; I would guess that someone who had been let go decided to make a small, unauthorized change to their website.

My signup bonus was credited, but I'm still waiting for purchase points from March. Pathetic.

The more I think about it the more I'm concerned about Dash having so mucn information about our web activity. They are tracking and recording every web site that someone with the Dashbar visits, whether or not the dashbar is visible. Their web site talks about privacy, yet they are apparently laying off people and apparently were recently hacked (probably from inside). How long before a disgruntled employee decides to make some money selling detailed information about our web activity?
I encourage everyone with the dash bar to consider removing or at least viewing and editing the information on their website. You'll be really surprised what's out there!

I couldn't find a number for their New York City office, but the number in Maynard, MA seems to be working. Well, at least you get in to their voice mail system, where you can navigate a company directory. The number in Maynard is (978)897-0094.

Just a note: Either the Dashbar software is so poorly written (the benign interpretation) or the Dashbar sofware folks are so underhanded that (on Win98 anyway) even when you uninstall the program using Control Panel's Add/Remove Program, the dll's that do the tracking are still there, doing their tracking thing. I had to edit the registry to get the thing really uninstalled. For details, as noted in one of the upstream notes here, see
