Opinari.net

Opinari - Latin term for Opinion. Opinari.net is just what it seems: a cornucopia of rants, raves and poignant soliloquy.

A South African news agency reports:

Auction site eBay has denied South African reports that a database of customer credit card numbers it maintains has been compromised by a Nigerian 419 syndicate.

According to News24, advanced free fraudsters "gained access to the credit card numbers... addresses and identity numbers of thousands of eBay clients and have started to distribute this to other syndicate members". The news service quotes Inspector Rian Visser of the SA police's commercial crimes unit to support its claims that local police have joined up with the "American Secret Security Service" (sic) to investigate attacks on eBay and an assault by the same gang against E-tronics, a US ISP.


When I have several hundred dollars in charges from Abuja, I'll know who to blame.
