It's beginning to look like PayPal is hacked

boredposter · Going for the Medal!

It's an obvious scam. Anyone with brain activity knows that PayPal (nor any other legitimate business) would never ask for an ATM Pin number in an email. First, no one in their right mind would give it up. Second, no legitimate company would have a use for it.

Anyone who is stupid enough to fall for this should get off the internet - permanently.

BORED, buddy, good to see you again. Why do you think E-bay and Paypal allows things like this to continue?? They are at the top of the scam chain. Are they that unstable?, or they just don't care what happens to their customers! What do you think?

ps. come on over to our side, we have pirate stuff and all kinds of neat things!

Is that you, stampman?

The thing is, if folks get redirected AFTER signing in, it would not be odd for many to believe it is a legit, (in particular if the url prefix and lock icon on the phish page are also spoofed) especially for those who are not geeky or have little internet/ebay/paypal experience.

At first when I started reading these recent reports I thought PP was just doing some work or upgrading, but now I am not so sure.

I doubt the trouble is a compromised hosts file or a BHO either. If that were the case, you would likely go directly to the phish page, not the legit PayPal sign-in first.

It will be intertesting to see how this plays out. PayPal needs to be held accountable, for lack of responsible disclosure, past, present and future, IMO.

Some banks have more sophisiticated security set-ups, (and concern for their users,) why not PayPal?

You are RIGHT ANON! for you. Some of this is for sport (hi stampman), but alot is serious business. Thanks for bringing e-bay's dreadful record to light here. They are so bad on so many levels, it's hard to keep track!

Rest assured, if anyone gets scammed, PainPal and sleazebay will again blame the users.

All these troubles are still continuing.
Either PayPal has been hacked or they have jethro bodine working in their tech staff.

Beginning to remind me of a couple other sites that were hacked with DoS attacks.

It has all the symptoms

Since the news services have been either too afraid to announce PayPal has been hacked, or worse they've been bought off to keep the story secret I think someone should take the ball and run with it.

Maybe a post on other boards giving the info that PayPal has been hacked are in order. You can state your case and ask for someone to prove that PayPal hasn't been hacked.

Do it now, warn the people before it's too late!!!

Knowing that PayPals site is held together with soft rubber bands and bubble gum and that parts of it have not ever worked properly or reliably aside, they are having a large number of other troubles. Look around.

Oh I'm sure PayPal would inform their users had it been hacked, went in 2 years or so...(and after a third party exposed the fact Bwa-hahahaha)

Yeah, PP is immune to hacking cracking and DoS attacks. There are no weekly hacking contests... No one has ever hacked it. I doubt PainPal could have pi$$ed off the wrong person or persons who would try anything like that.

If I knew the theater was on fire I'm sure I'd be yelling FIRE, FIRE, FIRE!!!

If you know PayPal has been hacked you should be warning others.

Hmm, more and more and yet more problems with the PP site and system, widely reported and affecting many areas of operation. I wonder why?

Well it is a good thing the old cross scripting trick still works (you know that one that ebay has not fixed for Gaaaawd only knows how long. In fact, I believe ebay is called a Dangerous Site, and it is recommended that it be placed on IEs restricted list ----BWA-hahahahaha!!!)

but I digress...

It saves the trouble of having to hack the entire site. And it is soooooo easy too. All someone has to do is find one of the auctions, SCO offers, what have you, save it complete, do a bit of presto-chango to the script, list your listings, and BAM! Money from heaven!!!

So really stamptard, it does not matter (to the victim whether the entire PainPal/sleazebay system is hacked, or just one auction or email or SCO at a time.

The really funny part is , is that sleazebay and PainPal could stop all that in one fell swoop by disallowing ALL JS in the description. Or by only allowing text and graphics in a pre-made template. DUH!!! Too obvious.

They could also easily quash the phish mails and SCOs by simply NEVER having a clickable link in emails... Again, Too obvious.

They have the ability to make obsolete a huge amount of fraud and fraud potential (as we all know ebay/paypal users are the biggest targets on the www)
why they do not... good question.

Kinda makes me wonder...

(remember, ignore the obvious.)

I didn't think there was anything to your report of PayPal possibly being hacked till I saw the CNN, AP, and Reuters articles today. Looks like you're right.

Hey dummyf**cks, Lights on in yer haid!
the proof is, PainPal does not work!

(and it is getting worse, not better)

[nevermind--- ignore the obvious]

However, allow me to reiterate.
To the victim and the scammer BOTH, it matters not whether the entire site is hacked...

Sleazebay and PainPal both know it, you know it, we all know it

.
Hey kids, links to free redirect auction and phish page scripts are posted daily on the Twits&Snitches board constantly!!!

Be the first on your block!!!

Whooo-haaaah! Money from heaven!!!

Whoa!!! you won't believe how wasted I was when I wrote that. That was some good stuff. Just goes to show you that you can't believe everything you read on a message board.

Seriously though, wouldn't it have been funny if someone ran off thinking that CNN, AP, and Reuters really had articles yesterday about PayPal being hacked. Boy would they have looked foolish.

Bored, I know you want to be on our side. Especially now that they have enhanced the report button! Thank them for the antis. We can now specifically point to the infractions of our Liveworld hosts. Right there in Black and White! Odd that report button.! The only way the Live 5 could deflect the bad PP publicity, was to start inter-personal disputes to move the thread in a direction away from the PP hate posts. ( a near-mint plan) But now!!!! ah ah ah! that's not allowed! And the famous PRO ID LINKING manuver? no no no!

I was wondering one thing though. Since you pros know THIS board well enough to quote it constantly on the nazi board, do you all hang out here or is there one pro that lurks and then reports back to Lieworld?

Come be on our side!

It is official.

PayPal has served more hackers and scammers than MacDonalds has served hamburgers.

The truth is out there and easy to find.

Heads up, PayPal users

Whether hacked one account at a time, or the entire system, PayPal is hacked. PayPal is not safe.

Some chick named Misty started a thread on the Nazi board about this very subject!!!!

Are there any pitfalls left when you sign up with PP or have they covered every possible way to screw up?

No sweetie, The one that said" PAYPAL HACKED!! NO ONE"S ACCOUNT SAFE !! NOT EVEN YOURS!!"

It featured the "heads up" story Anon found for us. No one had a chance to respond to it. PayPal is hiding the fact that they are a perfect medium for money laundering, and Islamic fanatics. Didn't the FBI find out that e-bay helped the 9-11 terrorists? Bored, you better get away from those morons. Think of all the good you could do by exposing those traitors at PP.

We'll give you asylum. WE found a nice place for you with trees, and an outside recreation center, all fenced in for your protection.

More proof that PayPal is hacked

Again, what difference does it make to those involved, ie, the victim and scammer, whether it is done one account at a time or system wide?

Bottom line: PayPal is not safe, and they do not care whether you get burned. They will deny and blame the user.

How Louise nearly put her foot in it

Just more proof that PayPal (AND ebay) are easily hacked...

PayPal and ebay are not safe.

ooops, I may have been wrong. This may be professor starburnt. Wasn't that the one that always rang in with some legal mumbo-jumbo that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand? (and was not bright enough to comprehend it anyway?)

Is that the same one with the "posting stutters", like the gears of thought are getting stuck one after another? (go look, it is truly hilarious)

What is the word or phrase for "ignorant misguided dorky burnt-out poindexter jerkwad trekky loser" in the official cling-on dictionary?
