I think it just means that you still shouldn't be clicking on links to paypal from emails you get.

Congrats Piru, I guess.  Is it your job to find these kinds of security holes for another company, or do you do it just for kicks?

Does this mean that I need to rush to Paypal and transfer my positive balance in it entirety to my bank account, or can I feel safe that I can keep a few bucks there to pay for an odd Amiga game here and there on eBay?


It means don't EVER use IE!!! With AVG pro and Firefox you can be fairly safe. Not totally, but fairly.

I have not used IE for years.  It is FireFox, Avast and Sunbelt Personal Firewall for me.  I would not depend on any Microsoft security programs for anything.

So you're telling me he could have phished us enough money to build a new Amiga box from scratch and develop the OS to make up for 15 years of neglect?

I just left my morals at the door.

Why would there be a mention of the Amiga? They already view us as lunatics without making it worse :)

Good work Piru.
XSS is such a sneaky phishing hack but if I'm not mistaken it is pretty easy to eliminate by stripping certain characters out of all variables.
So I'm surprised to see paypal letting this slip through.

Well this just shows that Paypal are not that smart.
It takes an Amiga fan to sort it out for them.

Nice one Piru.
