Security Breaches

My aunt bought a camera in a web site call mercadolibre.com she gets her camera on time and in perfect conditions but after she gets the camera, she starts getting a negative balance in her account on it debit card, what happened was that she typed her card number and all the information of her and the card in order to buy the item, but a hacker broke into the security of the web page and with this information this person bought all kinds of stuff. A hacker in a security context is someone involved in computer security/insecurity, specializing in the discovery of exploits in systems (for exploitation or prevention), or in obtaining or preventing unauthorized access to systems through skills, tactics and detailed knowledge.

In the most common general form of this usage, "hacker" refers to a black-hat hacker (a malicious or criminal hacker). There are also ethical hackers (more commonly referred to as white hats), and those more ethically ambiguous (grey hats). To disambiguate the term hacker, often cracker is used instead, referring either to computer security hacker culture as a whole to demarcate it from the academic hacker.

What I found on the internet is that people to do fraud in this website use false identifications and information to offer items at a low price, people are becoming very rich because of this type of fraud, some people put announcements saying that sellers from other web pages kick them out because he or she is offering cell phones at a very low prices, and this is complete false, the process of this guys is to get the payment of the item and never send the thing that I bought. This can happen also with a web site call tucarro.com this website offer cars and one of my friends was interesting in one car and he sets an appointment with the person in some place, and when he shows up he gets kidnap for two guys. My point is simple sometimes the information that the people post on the internet is not true, so it takes a lot of responsibility for companies like mercalibre, Amazon, nike.com, etc to offer security and response to the customers when something like this happens.

This change my perspective of this websites because I do not want to lose money in some item that I bought online, I always use Amazon and until now I never experience something bad with it. But is someone ask me if I have an account on Mercadolibre.com I say no because I think the experience that my aunt had in the past.

In matter fact I have a friend that also suffers another fraud by this webpage mercadolibre.com and I have right here the demand by him to the authorities of my country. “The National Director of forensic science, Wilmer Flores Trosel general curator, said the investigation began after receiving a complaint filed by a citizen affected by a promotion issued in the portal Free Market.

He said that the alleged fraudster was responsible for publishing the service offerings and products offered brand Blackberry cell phone, but after receiving payments for the cancellation of the goods not delivered the items offered, or return the money to customers. He said that during investigations it was possible to verify that the citizen Omana identified as Eduardo José Viana, 29 years old, appears involved in other inquiries from the Computer Crimes Division CICPC.

He explained that during the detailed analysis in the bank account of the person is able to see the great amount of deposits made by customers scammed.”

Another example that I have is from a travel company a girl had booked a room through Expedia for him and his Valentine. Previously had received confirmation by email the reservation. When trying to check-in is at that EXPEDIA never reserve your room and apparently had four other couples in the same situation. After several useless calls to EXPEDIA ends at the last minute booking a room at another hotel
