eBay Security Breach

[Lakesailor]

"Hackers have posted personal information on 1,200 Ebay customers to an Ebay forum, dedicated, ironically, to fraud prevention.

The information was up for around an hour this morning before Ebay shut the forum down and displayed email details, CVV2 numbers, telephone numbers, home addresses and possibly credit card details to visitors."

Ebay are contacting members who may have been effected to alert them

Ah, that's ok ... I've never registered any card with them .... nor with paypal ....

The bad news is
"Ebay says the information was not acquired through a breach of its security and suggests it was likely obtained through phishing or account takeovers. The company also says that the credit card details displayed do not match those on either its own or PayPals servers."
