It happened to me a few months ago. eBay refunded all my listing fees etc. They were surprisingly efficient about sorting the whole thing. I never found out how they did it either! My paypal not bank account were touched as far as I could tell. You should be OK sorting it all out.

Exclamation Re: My Ebay has been hacked!!

One in the same vein - I got an MSN message from a friend asking me to go to http://blockchecker.msnfanatic.com/ to "check who blocked you".....

The big giveaway was I knew for a fact he was down the pub watching the gee gees, not on MSN worrying about my "social security".

Sure enough (cos I'm not well protected (IT-wise and mentally) against these evil sites) I went to take a look, and it asks you for your IM email address and username, so it can "go and check who has added you to a blocked users list".....yerp ok.

What it definitely does is store your username and password, use them to log into MSN, trawl your emails for other login details, and swim its merry way through everything you ever sent and received on every single site it can find credentials for, pretty much without any manual help, I bet. Any financial details are just a bonus.

Be warned people

PS - this is genuine, not some tosh I received today threatening my house would fall down if I didnt forward it to all my friends.....

I often get spoof from someone pretending to be ebay, I always report it, but I've never had anything this bad.

I'm v careful on the internet too. I know all about not clicking on links in email supposedly from eBay/Paypal etc. Can anyone recommend any software to use to scan the computer for any nasties? I currently use AVG, AdAware & Spybot. All three didn't come up with anything when this happened to me and eBay just sent their standard response when I asked how they could have obtained my login details.

Any advice may stop it happening to anyone else and is gratefully received.

This is a totally seperate topic, and only loosly coupled to the original problem, but in my (partly professional) opinion, everyone using a web browser that is not governed by company IT policies should be using anything BUT Internet Explorer by Microsoft.

From experience (and other peoples misfortunes) the majority of nasties that get past any adblocker/spyware/AV/filterset/whatever are targeted at a known weakness in IE .... or one of its recent security updates, ironically.

Hence theres always some of this going on every week/whever you choose to use it:




My preferred choice, windows or otherwise, is Firefox.

I use zonealarm firewall as well, don't know how much difference it makes, but it's got to be better than standard.
