My ebay account was hijacked yesterday. When i came home yesterday evening i had a quick look at my emails b4 i went to bed and some ****wit had put 30 items for sale on my account on a 24 hr listing. I managed to get it sorted out but it was a right pain in the ass.
Here is how they got my password:
I was looking at xbox 360 games and i saw one with only a couple of hours to go with no bids on it. So i went to put a bid on it and ebay asked for my account login. So i logged in and put a bid on it and thought nomore about it. I didnt think that i was allready logged in to ebay. It turns out the whole auction page (IN THE E-BAY SYSTEM!!!!!) was a fake page designed just to get peoples passwords. So be very carefull and if it looks too good to be true then it probably is. :cry: :cry:
 
Funny, I got an email from "Ebay" yesterday telling me my account was frozen and I had to log onto the attached link and enter all my details.

Surprisingly enough I managed to log into Ebay without any problems and there was no message for me in my "My messages" folder. I clicked on the link in the email anyway, knowing rightly is was a phishing site, and as soon as I did my firewall said exactly that.

That's the first time I've had anything like that, coming so soon after Twofoots it just makes me wonder! :?
