Honesty has been my primary obstacle to great financial wealth.  I settle for the wealth of my conscience, instead.

Yeah, my friends dad said something when we were growing up like...

There are only two ways of getting rich, you either have to something illegal or just come up with some kitchen gadget you can sell a million of on an informacial to house wives that sit at home all day.

It indeed was. Finally someone figures it out, rather than suggesting some silly LOTR reference :-)

Wow, way to go picking up that old movie reference.

And nice work Piru. Glad you're on our side.

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?

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