After breaching eBay's employee servers two monts ago, the hacker named Vladuz remains at large. He has been continuously targeting eBay's servers and carried some attacks agains the well-known online auction website. Officials with law enforcement agencies in the US and eastern Europe are searching for him in Romania. So far, little public information is known about Vladuz, who stated he is not currently living in that country.

To demonstrate that the attack had taken place he posted notes on the customer service bulletin board in the same way the employees do: using the bold pink background reserved for official eBay representatives. He claims to have acquired the ability to penetrate the company's perimeter at will, and the ability to control the entire system of buying and selling. Officials deny and insist the functions he used are not connected with the databases where sensitive information records are kept. eBay's denial of a serious security breach brought more suspicion when the eBay spokesman Hani Durzy stated that Vladuz didn`t enter eBay’s internal systems, and he replyed: “Durzy … lies all the time”, and later he added “I was very busy. Being hunted by eBay doesn’t leave you much free time”. After quoting another statement about his limited acces he reported: "Oh really? Crappy email servers, they seem to be linked to the main ebay servers, including financial servers. *haha* Durzy is a big liar". eBay officials quickly removed the postings, but they can be seen on the web in many screenshots. They removed even the multiple threads from its discussion boards in which members discussed the Vladuz incident, including on its German and UK sites.

eBay officials have been working with the US Secret Service and law enforcement officials in Romania to close in on Vladuz. "We are tracking him very closely," said company spokeswoman Catherine England. "We are working closely with Romanian law enforcement. He's a well-known fraudster there."

Vladuz claims to be the author of many tools and software such as a Firefox extension that automatically enters captcha image verification codes when making certain eBay transactions. The browser add-on is harmless, but the attacker has left other random tracks online like a password extractor and some phishing tools. He even posted a comment in an eBay developer forum . "He's just another phisher", eBay spokeswoman said, "one of hundreds the huge auction site has to deal with constantly".
