Hacker May Be Exposing eBay Back Door

Posted by Zonk on from the maybe-buy-a-hackerproof-door dept.

pacopico writes "A hacker specializing in eBay cracks has once again managed to masquerade as a company official on the site's message boards, according to The Register. A company spokesman denies that 'Vladuz's' repeated assaults on eBay point to a larger problem with the site's security. Of course, eBay two days ago claimed to have found a way to block Vladuz altogether, only to see him pop up again. The hacker himself made comments indicating that the company's email servers are connected somehow to the financial information eBay hosts."

    I told EBAY I could resolve this for them once they send the PS3 to my address in Nigeria. The payment through Paypal will not post to their account until after they have mailed the package. What don't they understand about this?
