Earlier this week I wrote about a successful eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) internal systems hack. I'm sorry to report that the mayhem continues. I wish to thank Ina Steiner of AuctionBytes for her continued efforts as an objective reporting. Today, her report revealed some more interesting information about the matter.
I'll leave you with one thought to ponder: By percentage, how many successful eBay hackers would you think have an ego as big as Vladuz? How many successful eBay hackers would make their hacking talent known? I'm thinking that the larger percentage would keep the truth to themselves. I leave you to do the math.If I held eBay shares I would now have two options. I could either pitch those stocks as far from me as is humanly possible or I could hold on for dear life to ride out the coming storm. The wave of eBay has crested and it's a tidal wave to be sure.

Props for Ina Steiner for her reporting on this eBay scam. But I wonder if this recent news about eBay security would cause enough panic for the eBay stockholders to start selling or for shorts to start circling around.

Ebay could do with a short in their stock to exercise their buyback they announced in the 4th qtr earnings.

Why has the mainstream media not picked up on this yet? If a bank was hacked and customers' accounts were in jeopardy it would be headline news.

Sorry to disappoint the short interests but eBay is going to ride out this security breach storm. Investors are more concerned about the bottom line rather than news like this, if any movement is expected out of this, it would largely due to eBay's decision to ramp up its security, which would affect its bottom line.

Hello.. I am a small romanian virus but, because of the poor IT technology in my country i'm not capable of doing anything to your computer. So, would you be kind enough to delete yourself one of your files and pretend to be scared..

Ebay and Paypal business practices need to be really examined. Paypal routinely freezes customer's accounts for up to 180 days. Ebay puts on thousands of training Ebay classes atlocal colleges to entice average people to sell products on Ebay. Many companies sell products to these
people to sell on Ebay. Many people quit their job, take out second mortgages out on their homes to finance the widget they want to sell on Ebay. Little do they know that they can have their account suspended in one hour, one day one month etc and their Ebay business is history. Ebay
buyers and sellers are mere pawns that are used to drive the price of Ebay's stock up. Has the hurricane "Ebay" hit your Virtual Store yet? If it
has not yet, it will, it's just a matter of of time! When it does your business is history in an instant. Ebay destroys thousand of on-line Ebay business monthly. The institutional investors really need to think twice before investing in an of Ebay's companies. Who will be the first to blow the lid on this unscrupulous company? They need to be stopped.

And Vladuz has hacked EBay AGAIN yesterday. This is despite them claiming they had fixed the problem.
Ebay are lying to their customers. And now it seems they are lying to their investors too.
Are Whitman's 'donations' to Mitt Romney preventing some sort of federal investigation?
