Ebay is port scanning visitors to their website - and they aren't the only ones
-
There’s a story going around the internet about Ebay port scanning its visitors without any permission or even indication that it’s happening (without digging into the browser’s developer tools) - it’s absolutely true.
Because if you go to their website, you're obviously untrustworthy?
OK, that didn't come off the way I had thought, but I'm out of brain for the day. Even a vanilla blurb was out of reach. Feel free to write a better one (as y'all often do).

< auctioneer's chatter > I've got $210 on port 80, how about $3,549 on port 249? < /end chatter>

If you portscan me, my firewall blocks your entire subnet in about about 200ms. The block is for one year. I have 1/2 million IP's blocked at this second. Not sure what e-suck thinks they are going to get from this but welcome to my blacklists. Oh well, the world is full of stupid people.

It is supposed to be a security check to avoid being remoted scammed buying things you are not ordering. Another thing is, if it really does help as they say or whatever other hidden profit are they getting from it.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It's Javascript running in your browser port-scanning your local computer. I don't think your firewall's going to help. :)
