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?

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.

This doesn't quite pass the smell test.

From whence cometh your info?

There are almost as many scam emails for eBay and/or PayPal as there are Nigerians.

Did this "Alert" come via an email?

Ping to self for monitoring. My name is not on the list, per post #9, but I wonder if Ebay will make any kind of formal announcement about the breach. Seems like they are obligated to do so to help their customers combat the fraud.
