- disabled4diggin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+52this site lists accounts that were on the list: http://shenemanfamily.com/comp.html I checked it for my ID, wanting to make sure my ID didn't show up... I found out it wasn't on the list and then felt disappointed for being unspecial and not winning my haxed prize.

Some of our readers may have learned of an issue that occurred early this morning on one of our discussion forums. I've been talking with our Account Security and Legal teams, and I'd like to share some more details about this incident.
Very early this morning, a malicious fraudster posted on the Trust & Safety forum on eBay.com posing as approximately 1,200 eBay users. The fraudster made these posts in a way that was intended to appear as though he logged in with their accounts. 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. We're in the process of reaching out by phone to these members to, so that if the information is valid somehow -- regardless how this fraudster acquired the information -- these members can take the steps they need to take to protect themselves.
eBay and our forums vendor, LiveWorld, began taking steps to remedy the situation within an hour after it started. As things evolved behind the scenes, a decision was made to make the the Trust & Safety forum unavailable to our Community. It's still temporarily inaccessible, as the teams work on this issue. - Awspire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9If you use Ebay/Paypal, I'd highly suggest protecting your accounts with paypal's security key https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=xpt/c ... . This key can be used to protect your Paypal and Ebay account. This technology has been used for quite some time amongst other agencies and is apparently very effective.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Thanks mate. I was worried about this too.
- rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8No thanks, I prefer my spam with eggs.
- fatlip, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8it says right in the article that no credit card information was revealed. inaccurate description
- drewdvorak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I love and hate the key. Its cool on so many levels. But its big and hollow. So it makes a lot of noise when its on my key chain, so i just keep it by my computer at home. Trouble is if i want to make a paypal payment, i need it with me. Oh well.
- defektiv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4riiiiight, hate to tell you this but you're full of sh|t. i never even logged in to the account myself. and i'm CERTAINLY not stupid enough to give out my personal information or login info. say, when do you guys break for lunch there at ebay? i live right up the road from the office on hamilton/bascom and i'd love to 'talk' to you about your speculation into my personal activities.. no really.
- DemonCold9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The first thing I'd do as a media provider is inform potentially malicious readers that the numbers are authentic.
- defektiv, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5ebay is a haven for criminals. from selling of stolen goods to hijacking accounts. my account was hacked and the hacked message sent to me several times within a few month period of time. i contacted ebay the first time when the email address attached to the account was spammed with ebay sale offers.
i contacted ebay and they would not allow me to remove the email address, only add another, promising that that email address would never be visible to anyone but me. less than a week later the spam came in again to that address.
i went to cancel the account and the message said it would take up to 180 days to delete the account! that was the last time i ever even logged into that piece of crap service. i'd rather take my online shopping to specific seller sites or even amazon.com. screw ebay. - djenryte, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2At the end of August, I received two fraudulent charges from Europe on my debit card. I then received a notification email from ebay, claiming that my debit card had been used to create a new account. This really threw me for a loop because for the past 3,4 months I've only used the card for eBay.com/paypal and amazon.com payments. My name was not on the list of users compromised but this really leads me to question the security of eBay.
- joshjoneswas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2uhmmm.... isnt it obvious how just 1200 got stolen? If it was a breach, there would be tons more than that involved. 1200 means some dick wrote an app to spy on granny buying yarn.
- ronaldinho, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What I'm afraid of is that the hacker already has lots of pertinent information, and even worse, more information than we thought he already has. He may intentionally post the wrong credit card numbers to the corresponding accounts to make it seem like he was not able to get the information.

- spritom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I heard about this years ago as I got emails from "Ebay security" asking me to click on the link and login...
...or do I have the cause and effect backwards...hehe. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I marked your link as spam is that what you wanted ?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I retract my statement regarding alleged comment made by Vladuz at AuctionBytes blog. readers should go there and read the comments now and decide for themselves whether the comment was actually left by Vladuz

and again I ask for that inaccuracy in the featured article to be corrected - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1One more thing.
I posted that video.
The hacker DID NOT post the video!!!
Got that?
Everyone just stroll over to my blog and my youtubetube channel and decide for yourselves.
Cappnonymous, and that name is synonymous with consumer awareness issues!
That inaccuracy needs to be corrected
I repeat, please CORRECT the blatant inaccuracy in your report, whoever authored that article. - wwwdot1jesdotus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1heh...and they're always worried that I'm a security risk and holding my money. PayPal sucks.
- madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1If you are affected, ebay should have called you already:

IMO, ebay is trying very hard to create falsehoods and cover this whole mess up - phragg, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0craigslist > ebay
- tucsonwc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1inaccurate. buried.
- objectcode, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1losers
- sexybobo, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Hate to tell you this but Ebay accounts have never been hacked. If some one was able to loggin to your account or get your information it is because you provided it to them.
- nathan1313us, on 10/10/2007, -10/+5wasn't this already reported to be somewhat false. I thought that they numbers the "hacker" provided didn't match the accounts.
- shiftt, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2I feel no sympathy for eBay.They're scumbags in more ways than one.
