Note: The information and/or
technique provided is simply an example to illustrate how easy it
is for anyone to access your products without paying for them. I
am not responsible if you use or someone else uses the information
with criminal intent.
When you use PayPal to sell digital products your typical PayPal
source code will look like this:
< form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
< input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
< input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail@yourdomain.com">
< input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="your product name">
< input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="001">
< input type="hidden" name="amount" value="29.95">
< input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
< input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yourdomain.com/download.html">
< input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.yourdomain.com">
I have bolded the section of the code that has your download link.
This gives the web address of the page the customer will be sent
to by PayPal once the payment has been accepted.
If you don't encrypt your source code it's very easy for anyone
to steal your products at any time without your knowledge.
Here's the scenario:
- Mr/Ms. Cyber-Thief visits your web site and he/she is interested
in your digital product(s).
- They decide to just take it without paying
- They simply view your html code searching for your PayPal
source code
- They find your "return url" (bolded example above) in the
code
- They just cut and paste the "return url" in their browser
- They've bypassed the payment process altogether... now they're
at your download page taking whatever they want!
I can personally guarantee that if your PayPal source code is unsecure
people are stealing your products... the entire process takes less
than 30 seconds and is virtually undetected!
There are several other ways that a cyber-thief can steal your digital
products but I will not disclose them here. The illustration above
is the most common and easiest method to exploit the PayPal security
hole.
Now is the time to act and protect your products and profits!
You can choose to ignore the problem or you can take preventive
steps to secure your profits!
If you like the idea of selling digital products on the Internet
and love the concept of being paid instantly you must protect your
PayPal source code.
The decision to want to protect your products and secure your profits
should be a no-brainer! Click

To Your Success,
