eBay scrambles to fix phishing bug


eBay is fighting to repair a software glitch that opens the door to phishing attacks using one of its own legitimate URLs.

The online auction giant is working on a fix for the problem, and it hopes to distribute that fix among its Web pages in the next several days, a company representative said on Friday. The problem, described by the company as a "software bug," could be exploited by criminals to create an actual eBay link that redirects customers to a malicious site, the representative said.
