I'm posting this story, but looking for more information. T & S is shut down on eBay, and apparently many accounts were compromised.
eBay Shuts Trust & Safety Board after Credit Card Numbers Exposed
Quote:eBay shut down an entire discussion board devoted to Trust & Safety issues after someone began posting confidential user information. Someone using multiple User IDs began listing information purported to be eBay users' private and financial data on the Trust & Safety discussion board. Mark, a user who says he posts regularly on the board, said he noticed the problem at 8:50 am Eastern on Tuesday and called his eBay representative about 20 minutes later after he saw the posts remained. He said it took about an hour for the posts to be removed, and minutes later, the entire board was taken down.
The person posted using several IDs that look like they had been hijacked from legitimate users. The subject line of each thread began with the letters "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" followed by six numbers.
Mark said regular users who were posting on the board while the incident was taking place suspected that eBay may have been hacked, and he said some believed it was a scammer named Vladuz that has tormented eBay in the past. eBay has denied that Vladuz has ever hacked into its system (http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y07/m02/i22/s03).
AuctionBytes was able to view the forum and several posts before they were removed. While most data looked like it could have been obtained through phishing campaigns, the posts also included fields labeled "Id verified" and "Store" along with a time-date stamp of the user registration. The

There have been 2
partial lists of the ids that may have been compromised posted. Ebay already took down one of the pages (it was a me page)
The 2nd list was posted on a web page, and is still up
xxhere.
It is a long list.
According to posters who are members of T & S, and actually viewed the lists before ebay took them down, credit card numbers were listed, ccv nos., contact info, user registration date and time stamps.
The lists were up on T & S for approx 2 hours. :blinkie:
29 pages were posted before ebay shut the server down. They are claiming that they were not hacked. :
From another board (Rosie's)by a T & S poster:
Quote:eBay's official statement is that the CC numbers were faked, but one poster had found that their ID was hijacked and their CC numbers were valid.
More on eBay's "explanation":
Quote:This is the BS that the eBay AU reps are handing out:

The site wasn't actually hacked... it was a server issue where the system displayed the poster's information rather than the post itself. Being that the credit card information was on a different server, that info came up incorrect. It was not some hacker sitting there entering in someone's information and using a card generator.

If that happened then eBay is legally required to notify the users whose information was compromised by the
"server issue" <--("server issue"
)

Lol, what a boinking joke!! What is really amazing is how long it took them to DO anything about it. Bunch of moronic idiots!!!
