eBay Security Flaws or How am I supposed to have bought 28 objects in 3 minutes on ebay france, US and italy!

Sept. 17th, 2006 21:37 by sdelucaPermalink | TrackBack: http://deluca.biz/trackback/361 | del.icio.us logoDel.icio.us — updated on Sept. 18th, 2006 22:45 exists for 2 years & 2 weeks ago — Rate:

Wow... last Saturday I was surprised to receive no less than 28 email notifications about the 28 objects I had won the buys!
What? I didn't buy anything. Nor ever loged in eBay for months...
I did not realize at once. I 've opened one mail from ebay france (in french), and read the following:
" Félicitations ! Vous avez accepté d'acheter l'objet suivant :
VERIFONE MANUALS PDF E-BOOK EMAIL FREE SHIP - SHIPPING 0.01EUR"

Then one from ebay.com:
"Dear stephanedeluca,
You are the winning buyer for the item below. Thank you for your business!
Item title: $250,000 - $500,000 first year income from home based
Web address: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160030424301
"

Finally, one in espanol:
"Estimado(a) stephanedeluca,
Esperamos que disfrutes de tu compra. Se ha recibido el pago por el siguiente
artículo:

Título del artículo: VERIFONE MANUALS PDF E-BOOK EMAIL FREE SHIP - SHIPPING
Dirección Web: http://cgi.ebay.es/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150029238219
Número de artículo: 150029238219
Seudónimo del comprador: stephanedeluca
Seudónimo del vendedor: tizeforever
Importe total: 0,01 EUR

Muchas gracias. Te agradecemos que realices operaciones en eBay."

I first thought to a phishing act: I read the IP from the email header and made a WHOIS that has shown that this IP actually belongs to ebay.

So it is probably someone who has stolen my account! I immediately send a mail about all this from the ebay security form. Due to a lack of confidence now I have about eBay security system, I asked for my account to be closed immediately.

Today, reading my emails, I have received many emails about the cancellation of the supposed bids I had placed, as follows:
Cher membre d'eBay,
L'enchère que vous avez placée sur l'objet (300026878421) a été annulée. Vous pouvez afficher les motifs de l'annulation en cliquant sur le lien Historique des enchères sur la page de l'objet.

Cordialement,
eBay

But what really irritated me was the mail about my account suspension, as follows:
Dear stephanedeluca (stephane@deluca.biz),

We regret to inform you that your eBay account has been suspended due to concerns we have for the safety and integrity of the eBay community.

"Abusing eBay" of the eBay User Agreement states, in part:

"...we may limit, suspend, or terminate our service and user accounts, prohibit access to our website, remove hosted content, and take technical and legal steps to keep users off the Site if we think that they are creating problems, possible legal liabilities, or acting inconsistently with the letter or spirit of our policies."

Due to the suspension of this account, please be advised you are prohibited from using eBay in any way. This includes the registering of a new account.

Please note that any seller fees due to eBay will immediately become due and payable. eBay will charge any amounts you have not previously disputed to the billing method currently on file.

Regards,

Safeharbor Department
eBay, Inc.

Shocking, isn't it? I immediatelly replied and asked for a letter of excuse. I keep you posted; I will tell you about the followup.

Are you using ebay? Did you experience such a situation? Tell me...

My Pilot License is Taking Off!

Sept. 3rd, 2006 01:38 by sdelucaPermalink | TrackBack: http://deluca.biz/trackback/355 | del.icio.us logoDel.icio.us — updated on Sept. 8th, 2006 20:51 exists for 2 years & 4 weeks ago — Rate:

My first lesson of piloting was great! I could pilot the plane -- a ROBIN DR400 120 -- myself during the flight -- huhuhu, though I did not land the plane nor took it off...
Preparing for take off

I could make a tour on top of Saint-Émilion and Libourne, at around 1,500 feet. The lesson took place at Les Artigues de Lussac -- next to Libourne.
Taking off... yahoooooooooooo!

My instructor gave me the handle, without any advice... It was a little bit stressy. But the plane actually is very handy. I could roll, pitch and yaw. I must say that the roll is very impressive... you feel like falling in the air.

My instructor landed the plane and, once on the track, I drove the plane back to the parking, using for the first time the swing bar... That's not that easy to stay on the line, but after one minute, I could park the plane.
Mélody and Cathy -- who took the photographs -- was of course my passengers...
A top view of Saint-Émilion

I am really impatient to start again!

Greek's no longer supported by bbc.co.uk!

This is a kind of shocking fact: BBC just dropped the greek language and do not longer support it on its Web Site.

If you wanted to go as usual to http://www.bbc.co.uk/greek/ you only get:
"Η Ελληνική Υπηρεσία του BBC έχει κλείσει.
Σε αυτόν τον δικτυακό τόπο μπορείτε να βρείτε μια επιλογή από τα αρχεία μας."

Which roughly tells you: "The Greek Service of BBC has closed.
Here you will find archive greek content.".

Surprinsingly, I get to the language menu of the site and saw something even more shocking: The french is located in the Africa section.

Does it mean that if africans were not using french, my language would have disapeared? Tell me.

World's changing...

A 3-CD-set Game

July. 29th, 2006 19:47 by sdelucaPermalink | TrackBack: http://deluca.biz/trackback/349 | del.icio.us logoDel.icio.us — updated on Aug. 3rd, 2006 12:26 exists for 2 years & 2 months ago — Rate: - .

The game features about 1 hour and a half of video, plus 13 sound tracks.
The game won the Fiction prize of the World Festival of Underwater Pictures in Antibes, France, in 1996.
As I don't have a numeric version of the movie, the following is an attempt to reconstitute it by taking snap shots from the game:

Intro





Prolog:




Arrival on departure site:




Arrival at HP1: the first underwater station




Geting to the broken drill head


Arrived at HP5 underwater station:


HP5:




A Monacus...




causing an the accident.




Need to explore with STORM through the passage:








Discovering Atlantis and Mikonos


The probe deteccts unkwon life:




Briefing:




Meeting Atlants:




Ennemies are coming:




Atlantis history explained:




Medusa attacks




Mikonos lose:




Mikonos wins:








Game Over
