So lets talk about Information Security or "Cyber security".

My eBay got hacked recently and someone order a ton of phones and shit, some costing $500 and I couldn't believe it. Just as I was about to go to be I looked at my phone and saw 5+ emails, all from ebay so I opened it up and had a mini hear attack. "Order confirmation", fuck.

So I immediately logged in to my ebay account (the hacker didn't change my password) and changed my password to something much longer than it previously was. Next I called customer support and some qt girl helped me cancel all of the orders.

I have a few questions about how my account got hacked in the first place. I only log into eBay on my desktop running windows and don't have any viruses or anything to my knowledge. Perhaps I have a keylogger though, how would I even know if I have one installed?

How did this happen and how can I prevent it from happening in the future?

>Just not long ago hackers gained access to 145 million eBay records and eBay released a statement urging all of it users to change their passwords.

Alright fuck so my password hash was in the database and got cracked (it was a really shitty 8 character long password). Makes sense now.

Stop using eBay. Problem solved. Next question.

you know all those fourms that say, you must register to see links? or other such BS? some of those sites dont encrypt there passwords. if those sites get hacked, and you use the same password. your other accounts will get hacked.

I'm trying to think of other important accounts of mine that used the same password and can't think of any. If since moved to using Keepassx as my password manager.

Use two factor authorization, faggot.

Dowload VIP access app for your phone.

Activate it on your ebay account.

I just looked into it thanks to your pathetic post and did it, so the same thing won't happen to me.

You're welcome asshole

I just upload it to Google Drive, and use KeePass for Windows and KeePassX for Android.

I use Google Drive pluging for Keepass on Windows, but you don't have to if you store and open the database directly from the Google Drive folder.

Not sure if it's safe or not, but it works.
