Most likely the administration decided to remove the resource portal, after all of their customer base was in the net.

Leaders Newsea Sims did not provide a decent data protection. For example, administrators did not use encryption when dealing with passwords. If you had an account on Newsea Sims, then most likely, the burglars will want to use your data.
