AuctionBytes reported on Friday a vulnerability on the PayPal website that allowed anyone to find out if an email address was attached to a PayPal account, and if so, revealed the account holder’s full name (http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m03/i24/s00). Several hours after AuctionBytes contacted PayPal about the security issue the page raised, PayPal fixed it, calling it “a bug.”
