Ebay Hacked, User Info Posted

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the hate-when-that-happens dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This morning a hacker posted the personal contact information and credit card data of 1,200 ebay users on the eBay.com Trust & Saftey forums. eBay pulled the Trust & Safety forums off line, but not before one user made a video of the hacked forums and posted it on youtube.com. eBay response is on the eBay chatter page, and seems to try and down play this "fraudster"'s activity."

  1. My question is... by Tastecicles · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...What are eBay doing with credit card information? I thought it was all done through Paypal or escrow services? Or am I missing something?

      What you're missing is this: Reading The Fucking Article.

      "The posts contained name and contact information, which appears to be valid, and could have been secured as part of an account take over. The posts ALSO appeared to contain credit card information -- however, these credit cards are not associated with financial information on file for these users at eBay or PayPal. "

  2. Is there a list of users? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just want a list of usernames because I want to know if I, an eBay user, was affected.
