German police have arrested a 19 year-old hacker who claims he managed to control the local domain of E-bay.
Apparently, the hack happened at the end of August when the teen managed to direct punters on the eBay.de site to a different domain name server (DNS). What is scary is that the hacker is not exactly an expert, and had found the instructions on how to fudge the transfer when he stumbled across a web-page. The teen decided to request a transfer for several sites including Google.de, Web.de, Amazon.de and eBay.de for a laugh and was amazed when it worked.
