Reality Check
1. The userids were correct but they are already public in the first place.
2. eBay reports other pertinent information did not match their files (ie: names, CVV, credit cards).
3. There are several credit card and name generators on the Internet that you can play as a game for free. Just because someone goes through this and matches it with an eBay user id, that doesn't mean eBay is hacked.
4. eBay's statement, which California laws among others require them to tell the truth are as follows:
"Very early this morning, a malicious fraudster posted on the Trust & Safety forum on eBay.com posing as approximately 1,200 eBay users. The fraudster made these posts in a way that was intended to appear as though he logged in with their accounts. The posts contained name and contact information, which appears to be valid, and could have been secured as part of an account take over.
The posts ALSO appeared to contain credit card information -- however, these credit cards are not associated with financial information on file for these users at eBay or PayPal. We're in the process of reaching out by phone to these members to, so that if the information is valid somehow -- regardless how this fraudster acquired the information -- these members can take the steps they need to take to protect themselves."
5. I'm not a defender of eBay. In fact, if you type in the words 'ebay monopoly' on Google, you will find I have criticized them over their moves to restrict Google Checkout, their competition in the payments processing industry. But I can definitely say today's hysteria by some eBay users (you know who you are) and the media is annoying at best. Stop the panic and let the facts come out.
The usernames that were listed on the forums are listed below. I got this from http://shenemanfamily.com/comp.html. There's tons of screenshots and even a YouTube video of this (already pulled off).
