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
I'm never using Ebay after this, I've just started a couple months ago and have had a bad experience due to sellers and fees. This is just ridiculous. I'd close down my account if I could.
