Default Ebay Hacked Again

Seems as if an Ebay employee has unwittingly let a load of Ebay IDs
and passwords escape onto the web, and Ebay are trying to cover it up
under the guise of a 'phishing' scam.

1200 Pages of eBay IDs??? Shill bidders ripping off buyers is bad
enough.
Now we have a moronic eBay employee giving out our passwords.

Mirror.co.uk proclaims that hundreds of eBay user accounts were hacked
and then utilized for the systematic defrauding of possibly hundreds
of eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) users. Details are sketchy but sources have
provided alleged solid proof that eBay security has been compromised
in unprecedented scale. The Mirror quotes: "Site user Stephen Reilly,
57, said: "They targeted cars, jewelery, artwork and sound systems."

eBay users are ranting (log in required) on the site's discussion
forums and management is reacting in standard eBay fashion by pulling
discussion threads and maintaining its practice of routine censorship
of any information which may cast an ill light upon executive
leadership. It has even been alleged on various eBay-related blogs
that eBay is attempting to thwart dissemination of the hacking news
across the Internet by spamming the search engines with reports about
the possible sale of Britney Spears' hair on the site.

Where is the eBay Trust and Safety team on this? It's not answering
questions, indicating that it's selling the old bull line which
maintains that "isolated incidents" have occurred.

You can change your password every day. It won't protect buyers
from sending money to someone who is using a hijacked account
to list items and rip you off.

=========================
Sure it will.
They cannot use my account without the new password.
If there were items listed under it while hijacked, I could now delete them.

Only if THEY have changed the password would it be a problem.
There are ways to defeat that too.
