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:
https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=youremail@yourdomain.com&item_name =your+product+name&item_number=item1&amount=29.95&return= http%3A//http://www.yourdomain.com/download.html &cancel_return=http://www.yourdomain.com
OR
< 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 unsecured 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!
