New Ebay Paypal iesnare & buysafe Flash Cookies
 

Was going through my flash preferences folder and noticed cookies from iesnare and buy safe, which I do not remember seeing in the past. I have done a quick search here and have found no recent reports.
iesnare seems a bit of a worry I found this online

"ieSnare is a back-end fraud protection system that matches distinct device identities to online accounts. A database matching system, called the Device Reputation Authority, links devices and accounts allowing merchants to identify and flag fraudsters without revealing personal information. Once these devices are identified, forensic information can be shared with all organizational networks protected by ieSnare. This allows subscribed networks to make business decisions about individual connections, and allow, limit, or prevent access based on the reputation of the devices involved."

Other than clearing flash cookies anyone know anything about these?

Just checked on an older user account I have not used since last year, these cookies were not being used then. So are they a recent addition to the Australian services?
