eBay hack exposes database alongside personal info
4.4
Popular online auction site eBay has reported that it experienced a major incident back in early spring involving their site itself being hacked and compromising their internal database alongside personal information of it's user base. The attackers gained their access through a series of compromised employee accounts, eBay is now warning users to change their passwords. The website is responsible for over $200 billion of global commerce last year alone while being represented in over 1000 cities worldwide.
eBay regrets any inconvenience or concern that this password reset may cause our customers. We know our customers trust us with their information, and we take seriously our commitment to maintaining a safe, secure and trusted global marketplace.eBay
Arrow Changed my password. My credit card had a $9000 charge attempted on it and a $100 charge, both were unauthorized. Wonder if this had anything to do with it. Lucky I have a good bank and they caught the issue before it became one.
I'm happy that they were able to catch the issues.

THG Hackers are gonna hack. But it sucks ebay got hacked! They need to step up on there security!
On their front page (announcement) said "Meanwhile, our team is committed to making eBay as safe and secure as possible. We are looking at other ways to strengthen security on eBay. In the coming days and weeks we may be introducing new security features. Well keep you updated as we do." So they are stepping up.
Yeah I saw this too. And on the top of every page it says something about changing your password if you haven't done it yet.
