eBay glitch wipes out 11 year-old account without a trace

From Insidepulse:

In a breaking story, it appears that e-commerce giant Ebay has been subject to a massive hacking and that enormous reams of data has been stolen and/or deleted.

On Wednesday, September 3, 2014, an unconfirmed number of ebay members logged in to see their entire accounts deleted from the site. In addition, any auctions from those accounts have also vanished into thin air.

In response, Ebay has completely shut down its Customer Service operations, closing down public access to its phone banks and almost completely ignoring the situation.

After several hours, a terse message was posted to Ebay’s “announcement” board that read:

We are aware that some users may experience problems when using the eBay Site. We are actively working on restoring the issue and apologize for any inconvenience caused. (September 03, 2014 | 10:53AM PST/PT). As of 4PM EST (1PM PST), no further updates from Ebay have been recorded, and all customer service personelle have no answers to any questions.

You gotta love eBay! What a great example of customer service! If any of US SELLERS did that, we would lose our accounts!

This is currently posted on the Auctiva.com website ~

"Ebay is currently experiencing some general technical difficulties which are causing our users to encounter a variety of listing related issues.

We are not sure when these issues may be resolved at the moment, but eBay will be posting further updates on the matter on the following page as additional information becomes available: http://www2.ebay.com/aw/announce.shtml

We apologize for any inconveniences this may be causing."

Same here, cant reply to messages,, on some accounts, cant login on others, Cant print orders on others. Its a mess!

[GhostWhoWalks]

I guess someone didn't agree with that defect rate. Who was it???? Come on show yourself!

I think it's because of them screwing people over so many times. It's like people riot when the government does something wrong to it's people. I believe it's just that.

Traffic has dropped by almost 20 million this year on ebay alone. Signs of customers going some other place. Someone sent me a chart on here today.

[PeHe oT PecToPaHTa]

Customers doesn't go elsewhere, just the big "G." dropped the coming traffic to all eB country-sites because of G's Penalty. The reasons for that:

Google Penalty Hits eBay’s Bottom Line, May Cost Up To $200 Million In Revenue

Why Did Google’s SEO Penalty Cost eBay $200 Million?

We have police that should be protecting us against crimes and murders and we have firemen that should be protecting us against fires.

Unfortunately, the way things work on my planet it's that they can only act once something happened. They are not fortune tellers. Internet service providers can only act against attacks after they are happened. This isn't the year 2591 where we can arrest people before it even happens, you know?

And no, it's not the end of the internet, but it's probably the right time to start wearing that tin foil hat.
