hacker "he had managed to become the new owner of
eBay.de." can any one tell me what do they mean by
this..did he actually changed ip address at DNS or its
DNS Cache poisioning or something else??

probly did it thru some auto-dns system that works on web based forms and
confirmations emails. they normally work on request ticket numbers, if you
can find a way to break the confirmation parser, bob's your uncle. cant
see anywhere that he attacked a service.
