eBay: More Cooperation Needed on Cybersecurity

Grant Gross writes on InfoWorld:

Banks, online merchants, and technology vendors must work together to prevent security problems like phishing attacks and data breaches, eBay President and CEO Meg Whitman said Thursday.

Whitman called on large e-mail service providers, such as Yahoo and Microsoft, to reject e-mails supposedly coming from eBay or subsidiary PayPal that do not include domain key signing authentications on them. EBay now puts the digital signatures on all the e-mail it sends, amounting to "billions" of pieces of e-mail a year, Whitman said at a Visa USA security summit in Washington, D.C.
