Some eBay watchers attribute eBay's recent crackdown on cross-border sales to the recent spike in hijacked accounts. The spike in traffic might not be wholly attributable to Vladuz's work, but he or she is being credited for most of it. The multitalented hacker is leaving a calling card behind with his or her name, spelled backwards, attached to malicious code injected in live auctions. He's taunting eBay by posting to its forums as a customer service rep. His name is associated with a company name that is in turn associated with eBay hacking tools being found for sale online.
Hijacked accounts occur after phishers weasel log-in names and passwords out of legitimate eBay account holders and then use them to run auctions that look like they're taking place in a country with a reputation for legitimate sales, such as the United States or Canada.

In fact of this situation..so it will be difficult to us to truly trust for this e-Bay transaction. The user will feels not confident because of the fraudster without our realized.
hmmm...I'm really afraid about of the hacker already has lots of pertinent information, and even worse, more information than we thought he already has. He may intentionally post the wrong credit card numbers to the corresponding accounts to make it seem like he was not able to get the information.
So, be careful!
