Why don't you, Len and the rest take it to comp.risks? I like offtopic threads as much as everyone else but DANG this is getting a bit much. ________________________________ From: Rich Salz [mailto:rsalz@d...] Sent: Thu 8/14/2003 11:24 AM To: Elliotte Rusty Harold Cc: Bullard, Claude L (Len); 'Simon St.Laurent'; xml-dev@l... Subject: Paypal I know it's off-topic, but I think folks on this list like knowing this kind of thing. Paypal originally worked (maybe still does) by "crediting" your CCard account. That's in strict violation of how the credit cards are supposed to work. When a former colleague (our common employer is now gone) asked Visa and MC their opinion about this, they said "we know, we're letting it happen because we're curious what's gonna happen." So Paypal's exposure was even greater, and from the very beginning. /r$ -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://lists.xml.org/ob/adm.pl>
