Massive eBay Hack – 145m Users Affected

Uploaded on 2014-06-19 in TECHNOLOGY--Hackers

A database containing millions of eBay user data, including passwords has been hacked.

Following penetration of eBay employees’ confidential files as long as three months ago, the international online Auctions site has revealed the extent of the data breach and advises all registered users to change their passwords without delay. While eBay says it can see no evidence that user accounts have been abused and claims that financial details have not been compromised, there is now a major risk to users as many accounts link to other personal details as well the PayPal money transfer sire (also owned by eBay) where millions of financial transactions take place daily.

Ebay says there is no evidence the hack has resulted in unauthorized or fraudulent activity on the site but it may be months before the full extent of the harm caused becomes apparent.

Hot on the heels of the Heartbleed vulnerability (albeit a different type of security issue), once again the personal details many millions of active internet users are in the hands of hackers. This event emphasizes the difficult challenge organizations face in maintaining Cybersecurity. It seems that no organization is safe from being successfully hacked, no matter their financial muscle.
