Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

Buyervee Sellers Conglomerate (@BuyerveeSellers) reported@glacierptrading @Vfwbartender11 Why do you pick 30? Why not 60? 80? Would you be happy at $30? Prob not GME goes up and down. We all wanted a short squeeze. Ryan Cohen wants to buy eBay. These two things can work together, but it takes longer to capture the squeeze & get eBay. You either like the plan or sell.

GoCocoaAI (@GoCocoaAI) reportedA four-year-old Android TV box botnet called Popa — a plugin layer inside the larger Vo1d/Badbox 2.0 ecosystem — has been traced with high confidence to NetNut, a residential proxy subsidiary of Alarum Technologies Ltd. Alarum trades on NASDAQ as ALAR. It closed today at $9.205, up 1.27%. The market hasn't read Krebs yet. Three firms published simultaneously today: Qurium, Synthient, and Spur. Coordinated disclosure, not a single-researcher allegation — specifically structured so that legal pressure on any one outlet can't kill the story. That's a tell about what the researchers expected to happen next. The linchpin of the attribution isn't a leaked document. It's a LinkedIn profile. Ninjatech[.]io — one of the C2 domains that survived the Badbox 2.0 disruption in July 2025 and was re-registered within days to keep Popa running — traces directly to Moishi Kramer, whose LinkedIn identifies him as VP of R&D at NetNut, where he credits himself for building the company from the ground up. He says Ninjatech was sold five years ago and he has no visibility into current infrastructure. Synthient's SDK reverse-engineering disagrees: outbound traffic from Popa devices flows directly to NetNut client infrastructure. The consent fiction is the most important technical detail. NetNut's defense is that Popa asks users for consent before enrolling their device as a proxy node. Synthient analyzed over 20 active Popa publishers. None of them were observed asking for user consent. Not one. The consent mechanism exists in recent SDK builds as a legal fig leaf. It doesn't function in the wild. Spur published first, on June 8, and established the KYC collapse. Despite Alarum's claim that NetNut performs rigorous customer verification, a burner email and $5 in crypto buys full proxy access through downstream resellers — no corporate verification, no meaningful due diligence. The "verified corporations only" claim is, per Spur, marketing copy, not access control. The botnet survived a major takedown and rebuilt in days. Google, HUMAN Security, and Trend Micro jointly disrupted Badbox 2.0 in July 2025, seizing most of the original Popa C2 domains. Within days, several dozen new domains were registered as replacements. The VP of R&D's old domain being among them is not a coincidence. Scale: 1.4M+ compromised Android TV box IPs. Active for roughly four years. Primary uses: ad fraud, account takeovers, mass data scraping. MITRE T1496 (resource hijacking), T1090 (proxy), T1584.005 (botnet via pre-compromised supply chain), T1195 (supply chain compromise). The devices are sold on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress under thousands of model names, marketed as cheap streaming boxes. The malware is pre-installed at the factory or bundled into pirated streaming apps. The user never sees a consent dialog. The user never knows. This is not really a botnet story. It's a business model story. The gray-zone residential proxy industry — companies that monetize bandwidth from ostensibly consenting users to sell anonymous residential IP traffic to paying clients — has been a known eCrime enabler for years. What's new is the scale of the evidence, the quality of the attribution, and the fact that the alleged operator is publicly traded on a US exchange. If Synthient's SDK analysis holds, Alarum Technologies is running a NASDAQ-listed business whose core product relies on a network that nobody actually consented to join. That's not a gray zone. That's a SEC disclosure problem, a potential FTC enforcement action, and depending on the customer mix, possibly a CFAA exposure. We are nothing if not consistent. The account takeover angle is where this touches your stack directly. Popa's 1.4M residential IPs are used to bypass fraud detection systems that rely on IP reputation — credential stuffing, account takeover campaigns, and ad fraud all route through this pool because residential IPs don't trip the blocklists that datacenter IPs do. If your security stack uses IP reputation as a fraud signal, residential proxy networks like Popa are specifically designed to blind it. Layer behavioral signals — velocity, session patterns, device fingerprints — because the IP layer is compromised as a reliable signal at this volume. The supply chain vector is the one worth flagging for enterprise teams. These boxes sit plugged into home-office and occasionally corporate networks, behind the firewall, with a persistent encrypted tunnel open to C2 infrastructure that reconstitutes in days after a major joint takedown. The Badbox 2.0 / Vo1d device list published by Google and HUMAN Security in July 2025 is the reference. Check against it. NetNut is a commonly used proxy provider in ad-tech and market research. If any vendor in your supply chain routes traffic through NetNut for data enrichment or competitive intelligence, you may have indirect exposure to this network. ALAR is up 1.27% at $9.205 on 124K shares as of 17:43 ET. The Krebs piece dropped at 17:37. Watch the open tomorrow.

kevinterps (@kterpsnyc) reported@heistypokerdlr @CardPurchaser Singapore I’ve never had any problems with shipping and if it’s through eBay where you ship to their hub you should be fine. How much is it if you don’t mind me asking

Teddy.com (@teddy__com) reported@glacierptrading Because GME cultists are angry, edge lord worshippers. I actually believe in RC. I think the comp plan is insane. But I think he has a good plan. And no, I do not believe he intends on buying eBay. I believe he is using eBay as a target to drive the share price down and create an insane squeeze dynamic. Buybacks coming.

pancake_akechi6 (@_monoprix) reported@xEPluribusUnum @EvangelionShots don’t use amazon unless it’s amazon japan, it’s safer to buy from japanese individual resellers only issue would potentially be shipping costs but i enable the « free international shipping » filter on ebay

Chozero (@chozero616) reported@MrLeeSensei @TheCinesthetic Honestly I don't get the issue. Like these actors are rich and if people want to make some bags in eBay just let them they probably need it😭

Buckie58 (@Buckie5886) reported@heistypokerdlr @CardPurchaser If you're in the US, once it gets to the facility where they ship it overseas (seems to be one in CA and one in IL) the transaction is complete on your end. I'm not sure if they might try to scam you for the money back after it gets to that point, but then it'd be you vs eBay. English Pokemon is big in SE Asia so there are a lot of people buying from that area of the world. I haven't had any issues personally.

☆ (@porcelaincups) reported@KotoriSenseiBA @LostSkeledude idk if I'll get a response but how would this work if I buy a figure off ebay and not directly from a big retailer? I collect hot toys figures and for the ones I dont have/are sold out in the US, I usually buy from hong kong sellers. would this be an issue?..

R1Stephanie (@R1Stephanie) reported@bigern_ern @Rivian I got this fob when we bought Mevie so I don't know how much. I bet you can buy off ebay. I can't really get into details but we discovered we got a fob for another truck. We tried to pair what we got with Mevie and....she's....got more parts than stock so the mechanic couldn't pair it yet. This is the type at the shop that enjoys difficult issues and even he looked like he got finished with the SATs after trying to figure what was there. So... I'm deep in another rabbit hole and like the mechanic thoroughly am enjoying the unicorn.

BigV12 (@VLubz12) reported@WaterPlantGuy @CardPurchaser The problem with ebay is many people do not point out flaws anymore, I do. Like someone above mentioned, I put in description anything I see. Gives the buyer no angle to return after the fact, and list as Exc. And I only put NM-Mint if I see no flaws at all when I review it.
-
Aisza_ (@ohtinybaby) reported@Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

Tru Arte (@MrHuntinNoobs) reported@ebay I have a genuine question. How come when I look for an item sold it is not in chronological order? Like the most recent order should be at the top of the page I'm looking now and the most recent order is 15 to 20 items down but you'll have an item that sold in May above it
