He has been continuously targeting eBay's servers and carried some attacks agains the well-known online auction website. Officials with law enforcement agencies in the US and eastern Europe are searching for him in Romania. So far, little public information is known about Vladuz, who stated he is not currently living in that country. To demonstrate that the attack had taken place he posted notes on the customer service bulletin board in the same way the employees do: using the bold pink background reserved for official eBay representatives. He claims to have acquired the ability to penetrate the company's perimeter at will, and the ability to control the entire system of buying and selling. Officials deny and insist the functions he used are not connected with the databases where sensitive information records are kept. eBay's denial of a serious security breach brought more suspicion when the eBay spokesman Hani Durzy stated that Vladuz didn`t enter eBay’s internal systems, and he replyed: “Durzy … lies all the time”, and later he added “I was very busy. Being hunted by eBay doesn’t leave you much free time”. After quoting another statement about his limited acces he reported: "Oh really? Crappy email servers, they seem to be linked to the main ebay servers, including financial servers. *haha* Durzy is a big liar". eBay officials quickly removed the postings, but they can be seen on the web in many screenshots. They removed even the multiple threads from its discussion boards in which members discussed the Vladuz incident, including on its German and UK sites. vladuz.pngeBay officials have been working with the US Secret Service and law enforcement officials in Romania to close in on Vladuz. "We are tracking him very closely," said company spokeswoman Catherine England. "We are working closely with Romanian law enforcement. He's a well-known fraudster there." Vladuz claims to be the author of many tools and software such as a Firefox extension that automatically enters captcha image verification codes when making certain eBay transactions. The browser add-on is harmless, but the attacker has left other random tracks online like a password extractor and some phishing tools. He even posted a comment in an eBay developer forum . "He's just another phisher", eBay spokeswoman said, "one of hundreds the huge auction site has to deal with constantly". |
The Grey Knight (OP) User ID: 676936 Romania 03/06/2010 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Link: [link to news.softpedia.com] Text: A Romanian hacker was charged, after a joint operation of the Romanian police and the FBI, with hacking into NASA computers. The US space agency notified in July the Romanian police that its servers had been breached by unidentified people who accessed secure networks from computers based in Romania. Victor Faur, 26, from Arad, was charged with breaking into NASA servers and even disrupting communication with spacecraft, which forced the agency to switch to manual communication and eventually rebuild its systems. Faur was also accused of hacking computers belonging to the US navy and the Department of Energy between November 2005 and September 2006, according to an official statement. He was also previously indicted by the US Attorney's Office for allegedly being the leader of a hackers group called the "WhiteHat Team." The group of hackers was famous for breaking into various computer systems precisely despite their reputation of being among the most secure in the world. It seems they weren't after all... He graduated from the Faculty of Informatics in Arad, Romania and was selected to work for the IBM in the Czech Republic, where the company established its biggest center in central and southeastern Europe. In television interviews, the hacker claimed his intentions were not destructive, as his actions only aimed at "proving that several computers are vulnerable to attack," and that they were not rewarded by any "material gains." "I had neither modified nor erased the files, nor destroyed the communications systems," said Faur. He was denied the right to leave the country until the end of the investigation, which started in December. Only last week, the US Department of Homeland Security admitted in a congressional panel that in fiscal 2005 and 2006, a number of 844 attacks on the lead US cybersecurity agency caused serious problems on its computer system, some leading to infection with viruses or other malicious applications. Hackers around the world are known for breaking in some of the most secure computer networks just to prove that it can be done and often describe themselves as persons who enjoy exploring the advanced possibilities of programmable systems, searching for new ways to stretch their capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum necessary. |
