Ebay was hacked today. Users complete credit card information was being posted today on eBay's Trust and Safety board including name, cc number, CCV, paypal info, etc. It took eBay over 90 minutes to finally pull down the Trust & Safety server to remove the publicly posted information. If you have an eBay or PayPal account, you might want to monitor the above link.

September 35?
Actually, it was hacked yesterday. I was following some of the threads--ebay apparently is claiming that the credit card information does not match the user names that were published. They still haven't issued a formal statement to users.

Holy cow..I lost my CC last week and had to have the account canceled. There is a God.
BTW...I had a guy with a middle eastern accent calling from Britain try to buy a car from me a few months back, outside the usual protection of the ebay service. Be careful people.

If cc info was in paypal, how would hacking ebay get that info?
Or do some people put cc info into ebay itself?

Seller fees can be paid with a credit card.

Curious. I wonder whether there is any connection to this:
Yesterday I got an email saying I needed to update my Paypal credit card information. It gave a link to click on.
While I do have a Paypal account, it is inactive and I seldom use it. I don’t even have a credit card listed on it.
I never click on those email links, as I am always suspicious of them. I go to the webpage by typing in the address in the browser or using a ‘real’ url link in my bookmarks/favorites.

funny. i just went to ebay without using your link, and could not find anything about this. i never use supplied links to any web site involving passwords/financials - I enter the url myself.

I went and checked it out, but I cant see a list of users who were compromised. I understand that they wouldn’t want to leave the actual CCs listed, but they should leave up a list of the affected users.

Don’t you put cc info into ebay when you are a seller? It’s been a while since I sold anything.

I doubt this is related. I manage mail servers for my company and we get these sorts of things all the time. SPOOFING or PHISHING emails are very common and hard to fight. You are doing the right thing however when you use the "real" url.
To: BlabItGrabIt
I have an eBay account but no Paypal account. Should I be worried?
