Endless Paradigm

Just got an interesting email, titled: eBay New Unpaid Item Message from agong32:

Opening it up in Hotmail, it complains "This message may be a phishing scam."

Interestingly, it also doesn't have a "To:" address either.

Anyways, ignoring the stupid warning, I just opened up the message:

Okay, so link looked interesting enough, despite the fact that I have never used eBay, and the link obviously doesn't go anywhere near eBay.

Unfortunately, clicking the link, Firefox just has to pop up and say something about suspected web forgery - even clicking ignore error, the entire page is disabled.  Geez, why can't I sPa/\/\ the form with random poo poo?  This sucks!

lol that sPa/\/\ phaled..

It actually does go to eBay, in the end. It's a XSS flaw in eBay that has been around for 11 months now and they STILL havn't closed it, useless fudgeers that they are.

^ Sorry, I was referring to the actual URL sent in the email...

Dogeeee.  LoL ZiNgA tries to scam the scammers... :roflol:
