ebay, CC, personal data for 1,200 users

THE CT BLOG · September 28, 2007

"This morning a hacker posted the personal contact information and credit card data of 1,200 ebay users on the eBay.com Trust & Saftey forums. eBay pulled the Trust & Safety forums off line, but not before one user made a video of the hacked forums and posted it on youtube.com.

Google pulled the video...

WILL EBAY NOTIFY THE 1200 EBAY ACCOUNTS?
I THINK NOT.

UPDATE:
The Canada Revenue Agency has won a Federal Court order requiring eBay Canada Ltd. to turn over the names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of all high-volume sellers on the popular website. The CRA wants to find out whether those individuals or companies are reporting the income they made from online sales in 2004 and 2005.
