Sorry for the threadjack, but this is yet another case of horrible security reporting.
From watching the video, what it seems happened here was that eBay chose phpBB for their community forum, but did not integrate its authentication system directly with eBay's on the server side. Instead, the site was set-up as a standalone system, and whoever implemented the integration had the bright idea of hardcoding the forum password for everyone as username+123456, and then just having the eBay login page issue a hidden POST request behind the scenes to authenticate users to the community forum section.
Thus, this allows anyone to trivially impersonate anyone else on the forum. It shouldn't have anything to do with the rest of the site, though. Nor does this have anything to do with initial passwords, salts, or any of the other terms that have been thrown around.
A case of absolutely retarded login integration for the community site, but not something that would allow people to take over others' main eBay account. What this says about the people running eBay is another matter entirely...
As a matter of viewpoint, I see this quite differently.
I think science didn't actually reject the various religious ideas. They all get tolerated. They've all been tested. There's contrarian data.
I don't find it discriminatory to give something a chance, then learn from detail that it isn't correct.
I think science is actually wildly tolerant of bizarre ideas.

Translation:
Minority policy 16. National minorities are classified as:
... b) our enemies, Russians, Poles, Jews ... b) Extermination, especially the ones who will protect the old regime: move into their lands, exterminate their intellectuals which shouldn't be given access to government, and we should even make it impossible the reproduction of intellectuals by not giving access to schools, etc. For example, so called Polish peasants should be assimilated, understanding that they are Ukrainians of Latin persuasion, being forcibly assimilated. Their leaders should be exterminated. Jews should be isolated, expelled from any government positions to prevent sabotage. If there's no pressing need for a Jew's services, for example, in a local enterprise, put our militiaman over his head and exterminate for any smallest misconduct. Jews can't be assimilated at all.

No, no. Of course, Bandera wasn't a nationalist and anti-semite. No, siree.
And my point is that Bandera knew perfectly well about German atrocities - and still sided with them. He knew for sure about German policies towards Jews and Poles and cheerfully supported them. In a few cases German troops had to _stop_ OUN from massacring too much population!
And you might notice that I'm not saying anywhere that NKVD and Stalin's regime were nice. But Russians don't make national heroes out of Katyn's executioners! And I think if it ever happens, then Russia should be invaded ASAP.
As long as we're going to reinvent the wheel again, we might as well try making it round this time. - Mike Dennison
