“Password not recognized.”

This morning, I woke up to find that I could not sign into my Gmail account, and my eBay account had been again compromised, with the individual from last night having made a “Buy It Now” purchase for $1,000 of audio equipment.

Luckily, both Google and eBay were remarkably efficient in getting these issues resolved. I have since changed my passwords for everything. My PayPal account wasn’t linked to my eBay account, so the e-rapist had no ability to pay for said order (at least not with my money), and the credit card information eBay had on file for me had expired a couple of years ago. So, so far as I can tell, no major damage has been done — but I will be keeping a close eye on things for awhile, to be sure.

Just for documentation purposes

Somebody logged into my eBay account and changed the e-mail address to erada_oguntoye@yahoo.co.uk. The originating IP address was 216.155.133.6 and the ISP host was 10.11.64.252. I caught it before the guy bid on anything, changed both my e-mail address and password, and I will be taking some further action (although not totally sure what). Luckily I haven’t bought anything on eBay in about two years, long enough for the credit card information to be out of date and therefore useless.

It can happen to you.
