Virus/trojon

[Spiny Norman]

No doubt some ****** will want to say this is a troll but the Kona
Stinky 2001 moutain bike listing in ebay contains a virus or a trojon

Item number is 220044200130

I tried to advise Ebay days ago but the item is still there

....do you have more detail to backup what you are claiming? You wouldn't want some trigger-happy-false-positive-causing client software getting in the way of a good story?


(I'm genuinely interested in the techniques used if they are using eBay as a seeding point)

How much detail do you need? the original message had the Ebay item
number why not look yourself?

How much detail do you need? the original message had the Ebay item
number why not look yourself?

1/ As much as possible to undoubtedly prove that eBay is being used as a seeding point for malware/virus junk.

Virus/Trojan name, URL/HTML code on the page referencing the nasty, a direct link to the nasty (if possible), etc.. all the standard stuff I'm sure eBay would have also wanted to know when you reported this to them.


2/ I did look at the item. I ran all resources on this page through a few quick checks which came up clean. There was no indication of any off site linking either, which is why this sparked my interest.


3/ This kind of thing is very closely related to what I do for a living, so don't mistake this as me just wanting to prove you wrong.

Hope this helps
