Yes it is, let me try to figure out where we got it. If I find it I will email you the files.

No If you would like to see it in action wswd i can give you a temp_admin account so you can see it. It does not automatically flag them that i have found yet. We are looking at hopefully modifying there whmcs plugin to do that so it automatically markes as fraud as the system works very well.

So what does it do exactly? Just collect the information and send it to these guys? What do they do with it? If it doesn't flag the known bad accounts when people sign up, I don't get what good it does for companies to install and use it.

Or am I just missing something?

The idea was to match email address, name, [hone etc of the person in question without storing actual data.
They do it by calculating a hash sum (the process is described on their site).

Thus, the troublemaker can be now detected by comparing hash sum of data entered and hashes stored, but actual data can't be decoded.

[wswd]

Ahhhh, but you can actually retrieve and compare hashes when people sign up? I.e. if somebody signs up for an account with me, does the WHMCS plugin automatically compare the hashes and let me know that this guy is on the blacklist?

[JJW]

No it does not do it automatically you have to run it manually. That is what I was talking about, we are working on making it automated for ourselves.

[wswd]

But you can run it right from the WHMCS plugin when an order comes in or such, or do you have to go to their website for that?

[torpix]

Yes that is correct.

We installed it today, we will see how it goes.
