Privacy and information management research firm Ponemon Institute along with Internet privacy leader TRUSTe, have announced the results of their fifth annual survey of Most Trusted Companies for Privacy** and eBay is ranked second overall, behind only American Express (#1 for the fourth year in a row) and ranked first among Internet companies.

A total of 706 companies were named by consumers; 211 made the final list of most trusted companies.

As we continue in the online services industry to improve our tools and technology designed to create a safer online experience, eBay has been working with industry partners such as Internet Explorer and Firefox3 to identify phishing and other potentially risky sites. Although we originally developed filtering technology for the Account Guard feature of the eBay Toolbar, that same technology is now available in the very popular Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and Firefox3 browsers.

Introducing Rich LaMagna – eBay Online Safety Advisor
I wanted to take a moment on Ink to introduce you to another member of the eBay team. Rich LaMagna is eBay’s Online Safety Advisor and I managed to spend a few minutes with him earlier this week to talk about what he hopes to accomplish here.Rich has an interesting role for the company in that he is essentially for “Trust & Safety” what Constance White is for fashion; Karen Bard is for pop culture; Cat Schwartz is for tech/gadgets; and what Shawn Henderson is for home design (to read more from our Style Squad team, be sure to check out http://ebayinsiderblog.com).

Busy on the Boards today…
Two more General Announcements went up today that caught my eye…
***A Message from John Canfield: Update on our Fraud Prevention Efforts***
John Canfield, Senior Director of eBay’s Trust & Safety team, made an AB post earlier today updating folks on eBay fraud prevention efforts. On the whole, the post makes for a one-stop repository of all things related to fraud prevention on eBay (I count over 12 links to various best-practices, FAQs and announcements) and think it would be worthwhile for folks to bookmark the post for future reference when faced with a question or concern related to fraud and/or T&S.

Romanian Fraudster, Vladuz, Arrested Thursday Morning
Romanian fraudster, Vladuz, who had continued to attempt to compromise the identities of a number of eBay users (ultimately unsuccessfuly), was arrested early Thursday morning by Romanian law enforcement.
“We are delighted that Vladuz is in custody thanks to the hard work of Romanian law enforcement,” said eBay’s CISO Chief Information Security Officer, Dave Cullinane, in a formal statement made here.
I’ll update this page as I receive any further information regarding the arrest.
Cheers,
