Database/PM possible breach

Question first of all to Perff, I suppose.

Is it possible that content of users' PMs can be breached in any way? Or are links shared in PMs stored in any separate cache, table etc.?

I don't want to go into much details on this but years ago I worked with very talented scener on really cool game, being responsible for audio part as usual. After couple of years, he sent me (and as I heard only me) a PM with link to recent build inside. And, before I could practically do anything with it because of my temporary hardware troubles, link was already retrieved by crackers. Some bogus crack group released but it's already figured out which guys cracked it actually.

I don't want to throw accusations around yet so I write in general tone but this crack was all in all done at expense of me having civil if not friendly relationship with aforementioned scener, and he will probably never work with me again. The way of obtaining the original supply was truly low and despicable. Is it how crackers roll nowadays? :( How safe are PMs here?

just send me your games instead.. I need to make a comeback.. (with my pretend foreign accent ;-) ) . short answer , keep ya things to email and directly :)

yes it's annoying .. but the lure of a #1 is sometimes too tempting.

how people get a #1 has changed.. checking for a website is updated ain't the same as back in the 90's or the tactics :P
