Yes, some people's whole livelihood depends on eBay/Paypal.
I agree, a cause is a cause if you feel strongly enough about it (I don't) but some people don't really have a choice."Well, it's election year, Bill, we'd rather people didn't exercise common sense..." - Jed Bartlet, The West Wing, season 4

Paypal are a very small player in this. I would be far more concerned that three elected governments seem to be hell bent on using any means to ruin this guy. Could be you or me next. 1984 was not fiction.0

Apparently they arent hacking Mastercard, Visa or Paypal. They're just sending thousands, maybe millions of register requests and its freezing the sites.
Something like that anyway, saw it on the news last nightLove United - Hate Glazer0 -
It's a ddos, a fairly low tech form of attack. No lasting damage, but fairly effective in real time.I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!0
