eBay Explains Security Hole Used by Hacker

from Auction Bytes, October 9, 2007

An eBay moderater apologized to users on a Trust & Safety discussion board over an incident that took place on Friday in which a hacker was able to suspend some member accounts. He explained, "This fraudster found very old administrative functions that had not been deactivated several years ago when we changed the security of our internal systems. These functions were still accessible on public servers, while the rest of our functionality is now behind multiple layers of security. We immediately identified the functions that he accessed and deactivated, and we are undergoing an audit to ensure obsolete code that may still exist for other reasons is secure."


This is not a licensed eBay or PayPal product. It is however, inspired by the antics of the staffs of both companies and real situations that have happened (we could not make up all of this, folks!). e B a y - L a n d T h e G a m e ™ (a parody) is not affiliated with or sponsored by eBay or PayPal. It is the sole creation of Tabberone with a little help from her friends. PayPal and IT are registered trademarks wholly owned by eBay, who, after acquiring MicroSoft, Boeing, Time-Warner, AOL, AT&T, the NFL, Disney, CBS, and GOOGLE, will seek world domination.
