Ebay has claimed to have fixed a security hole on their front page that allowed scammers to hijack Ebay accounts. There has been no comment to verify if the potential to redirect within listings has been fixed.
The security hole has recently been infamously exploited by a Romanian hacker known as "Vladuz." The security hole is thought to be responsible for a recent upsurge in the number of hijacked Ebay accounts.
Ebay has been rapped for not being more forthcoming about security vulnerabilities. Many users have also complained about Ebay's "heavy-handed" tactics, such as suspending users who have asked questions about security.
