Re: Thunderbird multiple accounts
As mentioned, this is not something PayPal nor eBay utilise at this time. However, checking the IP in email headers is super easy, takes 30seconds at most. It can even be coded into ebay/paypal's tracking method, and overnight all your accounts could be compromised.
@Empirestate - That doesn't solve the problem. If you use a VPN to reply to thunderbird (or any 3rd party client) mail, you are still using the same IP address, that same IP will be stored in the email header, and eBay/PayPal can use it to link you to your other accounts if you responded to emails for different accounts.
The simple workaround to this is to either use Yahoo mail which at this moment doesn't expose your IP, alternatively reply to GMAIL emails via their website directly as that doesn't expose your IP. Note - I've spent a lot of time learning about tracking techniques that go way beyond the realms of the stealth guide, and there's no doubt that a large % of these techniques are not being utilised by ebay/paypal now, but its better to be safe than sorry. Ultimately, its your account, your business and the choice is yours to make.
All the best with stealth. |
