Default Ebay Hacked Again - Credit Cards & Passwords Posted

According to eBay, the credit card numbers that were posted
did NOT correspond to the credit cards on file on either eBay
or PayPal. That doesn't mean that they weren't a user's
regular cards, only that the data was likely accumulated phish
attempts. That's why they are *calling* members.



They've called, and the credit card numbers were completely phony. Made
up numbers, not belonging to anyone. The contact information was gotten
when these accounts were taken over through phish. The best site
security in the world isn't going to prevent people from responding to
phish if they are gullible.

That makes more sense than anything, because if those had been "good" CC
numbers, why post them on eBay's boards when you could use them to buy
stuff?

But read AuctionBytes accusations:
http://auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y07/m09/i26/s01
When members posted the names of accounts involved, and eBay removed the
AboutMe page, AuctionBytes accuses eBay of "sweeping it under the rug".

IMO, AuctionBytes does nothing but feed paranoia.

Ina Steiner wants to build readership. So, it's to her benefit to raise
fears/interest in anything she reports on. My opinion is that this hit
eBay in the middle of the night, when very few people are available, and
those are probably sleeping peacefully. It takes time to get someone
who can make a decision, and I've seen complaints that the posts were
left up too long as well as complaints that the posts (and About Me
pages) were hidden. Can't have it both ways.

"Vlad" looks like a good suspect. He's taken a fragment of fact and
constructed a story around it before, and it looks like this is the same
pattern. Some people just live to get vicarious thrills.

I don't know when it hit, but you're probably right. Trolls usually
strike on Friday evenings, even here. That's the number 1 sign
that odd question should be avoided

I wonder if these scary-silly eBay posts hit on a Friday night?

Yup. Vlad is a money-maker for lots of people. He must be
kept alive. Like gojody, there's always a reason someone
doesn't mind spending half their life looking useless.

Vlad is in Romania, I think, so his daytime is our middle of the night.
Convenient for him. Not so convenient for eBay.

Is there anyway to REMOVE the credit card you have on file
with eBay???


I still have a credit card on file from the 90's. It's expiration date
has past long ago, but I would like to remove the card.


Duh - You hate eBay, yet you continue to keep an account.


Why would I hate eBay? Doesn't cost me anything.

A guy goes into a bar, sits down and orders a beer.

He looks around and notices Meg is sitting a couple
seats from him.

Meg says "Looking for some action. I have a room right
down the street."

The guy says "I'm worried about how much it would cost
and wether or not it would be worth it.

Meg says, "Come on, you can't be that poor"

The guy says, "I'm not, but you can't be that rich".
