Posted at May 23, 2003, 6:58 pm: On Tuesday I received an email from web_tiburon@yahoo.es. The author claimed to have hacked AuctionStealer.com's website, and distributed all the personal information they stole. While reluctant to believe the story, I forwarded the note to AuctionStealer, and replied to the original author asking for proof of their claim. Within an hour, the "hacker" replied with my eBay username AND password - making for compelling proof that AuctionStealer had been compromised. AuctionStealer replied to my email - suggesting that as a precaution I change my eBay and PayPal passwords. Since then, there has been NO notice on their site - and I have received no further information. I find this the most disturbing part of this whole story. AuctionStealer claims to have over 145,000 active registered users - all of whom now have potentially had their eBay and PayPal information compromised. Yet after several days I see no visible response to this threat. I would urge all AuctionStealer members to change their passwords - and contact the site for more information. I have still not received word that this was a legitimate hack - but have no reason to believe otherwise at this point. Here is the message as I received it: ----- Original Message ----- From: Helen Doe 10903 To: auctionstealer.com customer Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2003 5:43 PM Subject: Your EBay login and password here Hello, auctionstealer.com customer. I'm gladly informing you, that www.auctionstealer.com was hacked a week ago by us. We contacted with managers of www.auctionstealer.com from our email web_tiburon@yahoo.es., but we didn't get an answer. They do not care about security and privacy of their customers. We wanted to help 'em to improve their network security, but they do not need it. They have too much holes in their security, and I think they are only care about the money they get from you. So, the only thing you pay for being their customer is to possibility of share your private information worldwide =) Now all your info was sold yesterday on hacker's underground auction, and now all your info (private info, eBay account info) is available for another people. Maybe they will use your info for selling of buying of stolen property or else. And you'll be in charge as account holder. You can save this letter as evidence for future lawsuit against www.auctionstealer.com. Also you better contact with your bank about your credit card if you use one with www.auctionstealer.com. As we wrote, now all your personal info is available over the internet, so you can call to www.auctionstealer.com to ask, why they allowed it. El Tiburon P.S. We are sending this letter to first 10.000 of more than 110.000 customers of www.auctionstealer.com. You can download the piece of base with your details from http://auctionstealer.fromru.com/xxx.xls. You'll find there alot of interesting things about yourself and another poor customers of www.auctionstealer.com... Be hurry, because www.auctionstealer.com will delete this file ASAP =) Rest In Peace Original of the message was taken from http://www.auctionbytes.com/forum/phpBB/ Replies:I believe I'd change my PW on eBay, and NOT update it on Auction-Steal...Other Topics of AuctionBytes:Reliabid - Protection for Sellers from Deadbeat Biddersfree tv on pc Awesome Article about ebay founder's charity ideas Jesus or The Virgin Mary on ebay POLL What are the best way to get buyers to a new site?
