Mysterious Vladuz again hacks eBay employee servers
Published February 23rd, 2007
The Register - A hacker has once again managed to pilfer eBay credentials that allow him to masquerade as an official company representative even as he taunts eBay officials on the company’s message boards. It’s at least the second time the person going by the name Vladuz has pulled off the prank, which is causing many users to question the adequacy of eBay security.
The hacker, said to be living in Romania, claims to have acquired the ability to penetrate the company’s perimeter at will. Combined with a rash of hacked accounts, the assertion has created a small but vocal group of users who believe eBay is covering up a massive back door in its defenses.
“Ugh, eBay is so rude *haha*” the intruder said in one post, left late on Thursday, California time.
