ebay encryption? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

10 May 2005

Hi
 I think it is someone flooding their input. There
have been a burst of phishing emails to my hotmail
account. When people see ebay not responding they
may think there is a problem with their account and fall
for the phishing email.

Weird.

I see the message pop up but then Mozilla does display the "locked"
icon at the bottom, and clicking that produces a page that claims
AES-256 is being used.

This is rather disturbing.  How about asking Ebay?  Either we're being
pharmed, or Ebay has broken its crypto setup; either way they need to
do something about it.
