Teenager admits eBay domain hijack

A 19-years-old German teenager claimed that "just for fun" he requested a DNS transfer for several sites including google.de, web.de, amazon.de and ebay.de. Most of these transfers were denied, but the transfer for eBay went ahead. It is unclear how the domain could have been transferred without the consent of the owner.
