Pheebay & Hibidder, united bashing of OAI sites and sellers--and the gated P.E.A.C.E. connection

[amy]

Oh yeah auctionpeace must have a very strict screening process.

...and eBay must be terrified at the thought of this new alliance--the largest site (HiBidder) in the alliance currently has 5 visitors online (by comparison, my largest store has 9 people online  ).

I'm sure Meg Whitman went into cardiac arrest when she heard about HiBidder's new HiBidderNews.com news portal (FYI, the news portal is advertised on the main HB site and has the HB copyright on the bottom of it's pages but the domain isn't owned by Richie or HB--check the whois).

Ahhh that is the Admin at HB that has like 4 or 5 stores (opps did I mention 2 of them were stores #1 & 3 based on items listed?) 

I wonder what the other domain is that the Admin news site owner has, hmmmm.

This is what happens when you link to bad neighborhoods - Peebay's PM system is now infested with malware.  A dimwitted PB admin refers to the malware as a  :blinkie: " nuisance" :blinkie: and an :blinkie: "irritation" :blinkie: . Peebay  admins obviously care little for their users' security and are willing to expose their users to the risk of identity theft - if they did care they would block user access to their PM system until the malware (or trojan) is removed.

Unfortunately, something appears to have attached itself to pheebay..com and is asking users to download what could be malware.

It seems this is in the private message system and users should not download this, whatever it is.

We are trying to see what we can do to get this nuisance removed but it may remain an irritation until Sunray returns - in about a week's time I think.

In other Peebay news, a Peebay/HiBidder supporter committed identity theft and impersonated PlunderHere on Digg.

The identity thief's Digg post preserved by Google's cache:

Stumbled upon a good portion of the rest of the back links and maybe a wife/girlfriend/sock puppet.

Looks like Mr. peebay owns quite a few domains that point to PB and eBay (affiliates).

if they did care they would block user access to their PM system until the malware (or trojan) is removed.

Ditto.  User stupidity is the primary cause of hijacked computers and that person's attitude to security is a prime example of why it is so easy for hackers to hijack computers.

They should put the entire forum into maintenance mode until they remove the trojan.

I think putting the entire forum into the dustbin and bringing it to the curb would solve more problems!!!
