“If cc info was in paypal, how would hacking ebay get that info?
Or do some people put cc info into ebay itself?”
Ebay now owns PayPal.
But neither one will ever send you an e-mail asking for updated information because any information you entered when you registered is kept indefinately, unless you go directly to their website and update it yourself.
ANYTIME you get any e-mail claiming it is from either Ebay or PayPal, go directly to their websites and check whether you have any new ‘messages’ there. If you don’t, then the E-mail is nothing more than ‘Phish’ mail trying to get your credit card and account information.
Copy the entire email and send it to Ebay, or ignore it and block the senders address.
I can’t believe you pulled this from breaking news. That is the only way that I learned of this extremely important information. Please put it back in breaking. I does matter a lot to some people. Ebay certainly isn’t forthcoming with the info.
