MEC-Co-Op Paidmail are on the way back from the hack experienced on 24th January. They now have their database 85% complete, and still working on getting things back to normal. However they will not send any paid emails until the database is 100% fixed.

For the first four weeks that they go back up, paid links will be worth the following:

Week 1: 1 cent
Week 2: 2 cents
Week 3: 3 cents
Week 4: 4 cents
Week 5 onwards: 5 cents

Anyone that requests payment will have to wait 30 days to ensure that enough funds are available. When revenue starts to come in for advertising again, they will pay within 24 hours.

Meanwhile, Thane Pullen has actually admitted he hacked into CAC sites, including SpeedyCashEmail, DirtCheapEmails, CashBoxEmail and MEC-Co-Op-Paidmail.

This copy of an email was sent to all four companies above:
