Ebay Hacked?

johammer_games — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 07:01:38 GMT

I opened Ebay homepage yesterday and under 'recently viewed items' came up a lot of stuff i hadn't viewed. I Called Ebay and they said it was a glitch but the items viewed (and there were a lot) were all retro Porn mags, Sex toys, Guns and Cigars. Doesn't sound like a glitch, sounds like Chuck Norris.

Anyone else experiencing this and have more info?

This 'Glitch' Also created a draft in my seller account

I changed my password and enabled 2 step authentication to be safe

Cheers

Did you just call the 'regular' eBay cs?

If so it's an overseas call center where the cs staff just prattle off whatever is on their script that 'best matches' the question in oder to get callers of the line asap

I've not seen this 'glitch' nor read about it, but good idea to change your password etc

Maybe run a computer scan too, just for peace of mind
