Another Ebay Hack
According to a statement released :
“We were able to block the fraudster quickly before any permanent damage had been done. At no point did the fraudster get any access to financial information or other sensitive information,” eBay spokeswoman Nichola Sharpe said via e-mail.
EBay has “secured and restored” the affected accounts and is calling the affected users, she said, without specifying how many accounts the hacker accessed and tinkered with.
“The fraudster did this by accessing externally visible servers, not by hacking into the eBay site,” Sharpe said.
"This fraudster found very old administrative functions that had not been deactivated several years ago when we changed the security of our internal systems. These functions were still accessible on public servers, while the rest of our functionality is now behind multiple layers of security."
