'Fraudster' Posts Confidential eBay Member Data Online

It would seem that someone thought it would be “cool” to post account information of 1200 eBay users on an eBay discussion forum, including what is believed to be credit card information. I thought I’d pass this on since a lot of you guys use eBay on a regular basis.

Nichola Sharpe, an eBay spokeswoman, confirmed that on Tuesday morning someone the vendor describes as "a malicious fraudster" posted the names and contact information of 1,200 eBay members on the company's Trust & Safety discussion forum.

Thank you for the heads up, I dont subscribe to ebay though, I have friends that do; every warning you post has a positive impact.
