Vladuz Makes the News Again "Hacker taunts eBay with attacks"
Fresh from www.guardian.co.uk/
The most V related info seen so far, and some of the most startling too.
It is a fairly lengthy read, be sure to see that but here are a couple highlights from the article by Danny Bradbury:
"According to evidence seen by the Guardian, he is able to see the listings of and listen to telephone conference calls within eBay. Sources in the hacking community say that he claims to be listening in on some meetings held by eBay chief executive Meg Whitman."
Says eBay: "This fraudster is known to eBay, Romanian authorities and the US Secret Service who are all working towards securing an arrest and successful prosecution."
"The funny thing was that he emailed through eBay, and when he was doing that he emailed me eBay employee passwords and user names," says Josh Shaffer, who founded the site FireMeg.com, which attacks the auction site's management.
"What drives Vladuz? "He told me in one email, 'I'm not a good Samaritan. I'm in it for the money'," says Baldwin. "It sounds like he's selling the tools as well as using them." But other incidents on eBay point to different motives. Days after the credit card hack, the "About me" page for eBay lawyer Scott Noyce was altered and his personal details were posted on the page
Because that tells the tale. Vladuz has a direct pipeline right into the core of ebay. He must have.
And from the looks of things, as far as who or where Vladuz is... ebay has a name and vapor.
And speaking of vapor, I notice snoyce@ebay.com is showing as "User ID Not found" on the about me page, but the MyWorld page is still there. I also notice he is ID Verified. Whew!!! Good thing!

There is a lot more there, so be sure to read that.
Here is a link to a post here which is directly relevant to that last quote:
Vladuz Returns to Hijack Another Pink Account snoyce@ebay.com
Folks may also want to see this post too, as the screencapture there has comments from Vladuz in it.
"Hearing" that he may have access to voice imaging capability within the very sancta sanctorum of ebay is quite amusing.
I wonder when ebay is ever going to explain how that snoyce@ebay about me page was altered?Because that tells the tale. Vladuz has a direct pipeline right into the core of ebay. He must have.
And from the looks of things, as far as who or where Vladuz is... ebay has a name and vapor.
