EBay&#39;s online payments division, PayPal, will pay $169 million for an Israeli security company specializing in detecting online fraud, the companies said Monday. The deal should close within 30 days.Fraud Sciences, a private company, has developed technology designed to differentiate between real and fraudulent transactions. That technology will be folded into&#160;PayPal&#39;s antifraud systems, which will be &quot;significantly&quot; improved this year, eBay said.Fraud Sciences&#39; Chief Operating Officer, Yossi Barak, and founders Shvat Shaked and Saar Wilf will move to PayPal&#39;s technology and fraud management teams.PayPal lets two users exchange money online via e-mail addresses. The ease at which people can transfer money has also made it one of the most highly targeted brands for phishing scams, where fraudulent Web sites mimicking real sites are set up in order to steal people&#39;s log-in details.PayPal has taken other steps to shore up its defenses. Early last year, it began offering a keychain with a one-time numeric passcode that users enter in addition to their log-in and password. The passcode expires after 30-seconds, which greatly reduces a hacker&#39;s window of opportunity to get access to someone&#39;s account.PayPal has also pushed for free e-mail providers to&#160;block e-mail sent without digital signatures. That would potentially mean fewer scam e-mails would land in people&#39;s inboxes, reducing the chance of fraud, although providers have yet to make a unified commitment.&#160;

The Zend Developer Zone has a nwe post that announces the release of the first version of an API created to interface your PHP scripts with the Website Payments Pro API from Paypal - phpPaypalPro.   It is a framework developed in PHP5 that integrates easily with the Website Payments Pro API from Paypal. Currently it supports 4 major operations available from the Website Payments Pro SOAP 1.1 API. It has taken advantage of the built-in SOAP extension available natively in PHP5 to generate the requests and interprets the responses to and from the Website Payments Pro SOAP-based web service.   Current operations supported include: DoDirectPayment, SetExpressCheckout, GetExpressCheckoutDetails and DoExpressCheckoutPayment and you can get more information about other functionality from the project's documentation. Be sure to check out the sample script and the full SourceForge page for even more Paypal interface goodness.

(InfoWorld) - EBay's PayPal payment division will pay $3.5 million to consumers and $1.7 million to 28 states in settlements for two different actions regarding its notification of users regarding their rights, the company said Thursday. The online payment company will establish a $3.5 million settlement fund to conclude a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, New York, in 2005. The settlement is still pending court approval. Consumers filed the suit on the basis that PayPal did not make clear its policies on certain types of transactions, the company said. The company will also pay $1.7 million to the attorneys general of 28 states to settle suits there, stemming from similar investigations and complaints regarding its consumer protection and notification policies. The states are: Alabama, Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia. Under the terms of both settlements, PayPal is not required to admit guilt or wrongdoing, but must improve the policies and notification procedures in question.
