eBay Accounts Hacked, Details Posted In eBay Forums
An Ars Technica poster is reporting on a very scary eBay hacking incident:
eBay is one of the most successful Internet-only ventures of all time, so it’s not surprising that it has come under near-constant attack by fraudsters and hackers. In the latest attempt, a hacker logged on to the eBay Trust and Security forums and pretended to post as 1,200 separate users, making it appear as if he had actually logged in with each user’s account. The posts contained the users’ names, contact information, and credit card numbers.
The credit card numbers appear to be bogus, but the other data was apparently correct. Guard your data.
