From The Register (pssst, hey bored persons, are they in a cult?)

eBay redirection ruse reloaded


18 month-old security flaw still remains unfixed

A redirection script error on eBay's site remains open to abuse 18 months after The Register first reported it.

The flaw - actively exploited in phishing scams since February 2005 - creates a means to make fraudulent emails look more convincing.

Shortly after publishing a report on the problem, eBay assured us that it had plugged the hole. Despite this the site remains open to abuse through the same back door, as an email from Reg reader Adrien this week reminds us.

He notes that URLs such as this example are being bounced off eBay site onto other domains. In this case the surfer is redirected to Google, but sending people to less savory destinations is equally possible.

"I'm holding out for the second anniversary of the backdoor. I might bake a birthday cake and send it to them. A nice phish cake," Adrian said.

We are yet to hear back from the online auction house on whether it has any plans to address the problem. ®

Sooner or later this sleazy online auction giant will be held accountable for what is, all things considered, quite obviously criminal negligence.

bored persons, would either of you care to grace us with your opinions of why this major security issue has gone unrepaired and for sooooo very long?

How do you feel about ebays apparent lack of concern for the consumer, with regards to this issue?

Also, which aspect(s) of ebays action/lack thereof, of the issue would/should not rightfully be considered sleazy?

...but answer came there none, and this was scarcely odd because...(?)

_Fill in the blank_.

real bored person, whatsamatta? No catchy reply?

You're not even gonna come back and tell me I am a cult leader with mental health issues, who spends too much time on the forum flirting?

I have not had a good laugh today.

(BTW, I require all male members of my cult to be castrated and turn over their bankbook and all precious metals to me.)


Were you aware there are other forums out there, wherein many, many more folks are bashing your precious sleazebay/painpal?

Better go find them and get your message out.

Well, he certainly runs like a girl when you show up, so I'm thinking castration isn't a problem.

(in a really lame Aanold type voice)

Yaaah, perhaps zee boring girly-maan needs to get his gonads from Meggy's purse. He is always running from zee real qwvestions like a scared little haamster.

boring person, I am Hans [grabbing crotch] undt this is Franz, undt vee are here to shut_you_up, girly-man.

Hear me now, undt believe me later - but don't think about it too much, because, if you try to think, it might cause you brain flatulance... it doesn't matter how much you pomp up those mouth/typing muscles, your flabby counterpoints (or lack thereof) will never outweigh the facts.
