In March 2006, many world media
reported the appearance of a site where you can buy someone else's eBay and PayPal account. An account with less than ten reviews cost $ 5, with more than fifty reviews — $ 25, to wholesale buyers a discount.
Account merchants operated through the ebayseller.cc website (Cocos Islands). Since all the information on the site was in Russian (see
screenshot ), then Russian hackers came under suspicion.
The truth was very close. A novice hacker who hacked into eBay, was recently
detained in Brest . Law enforcement officials told how they managed to figure out a hacker. The fact is that the young Belarusian did not observe all the necessary rules of conspiracy. He first sat down at a computer just three years ago.
