musings of mark since 2001

With all the companies taking an interest in my posts lately, maybe this one will make it through too. This morning, I got a spoofed email purportedly from Ebay, checking the headers and following the IP I ended up in an unprotected cgi-bin. Obvious fraudster, went to the Ebay site to report it but I guess they aren’t really that worried about it, after 20 minutes of attempting to send them an email through their forms that don’t work in anything but Internet Exploder and then being told I have to have an account, I gave up.

Pretty sad, sure there are others out there that have the exact server and even some scripts from people that are defrauding them but they don’t want to hear about it. Reminds me of all the credit card fraud that is going on that Visa and MasterCard would rather not let the public know the extent of.
