Russian eBay and Paypal cheaters busted
eBay helped to shut down a Russian Web site last week that was offering to sell stolen customer account information for as little as $5 each. Armed with an eBay customer’s login and password, a fraudster could post items for sale, collect payments, and then never deliver the goods. The site was also offering to sell a handful of PayPal accounts.
The site was inaccessible Friday morning, but Alex Eckelberry, president of security vendor Sunbelt, posted screen captures in his blog that appeared to show account information for sale from customers in the U.K., Germany, and Australia. His posting is available online. The site preferred accounts that were used infrequently, meaning a user would take longer to notice any suspicious activity, and asked a higher price for accounts with good feedback ratings. Prices ranged from $5 to $25 per account.
EBay reiterated its guidelines for customers to avoid having their data stolen: Be extremely wary of e-mail that ask you to update personal account information, download eBay’s toolbar with software that detects fraudulent eBay and PayPal sites, and report suspicious e-mail. It’s quite common to buy anything from hacked user account on estores to nice ICQ or MSN numbers…

its sad to see people auctioning for your own username.
to the highest bidder it is!
yeah, but Russia is still a bit wild in these things…
Pirated software is one thing, but fucking with other people’s account on a site like eBay is a serious crime.
If you ask me those bastards should be shot!
There is no place for scum like that in society.
YEah, wow, stealing and selling something that doesn’t belong to you, over the internet, well that’s just HORRIBLE!
Geez, I’m glad release groups don’t buy and sell silvers and counterfit dvds on the streets.
Oh wait, they do that.
Rolling my eyes
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!
Yeah but the paypal thing was a bit different though dont you think?
I came accross this website today searching for any informations. I did not find them, but your site was very interesting.
when you been subject to these - - - holes and sent goods off in good faith never to get any money you wouldnt be so funny with the replys,ya we al have films etc off the net but if they were cheaper than the blank dvds we woudnt bother in downloading them. dont trust any e mails from e bay saying your goods have been sold,as e bay dont want to know when it all goes tits up
hack the planet. all the pirates that say this is wrong…. go and eat ur shit. if ur so stupid or so noob-like that u get ur account stolen, then shame on u noob. If it can be done, i say “do it”… just dont kill noone, everything else goes! If u pirate u steal also… i know its different, but its still stealing, the same crap( ye ye, its called sharing, well they shared cheap account of ebay and paypal, same crap, i pay usenet to share stolen goods!) Internet is not ur friend, u cant trust noone here, ur friend is ur enemy, and shit like this happens! My hat down to all who can do it, pirating, stealing … whatever… HACK THE PLANET!! Everything for everyone and nothing for ourself!!
Cosmic Larry,you probably forgot to take your medicine today again!?.
nope, my chain riped…
I agree with larry, If your that dumb to give out your info over the web period, you deserve it.
I do agree people should be more careful about responding or giving out personal info but what about when the guys in control slack on their security. This happened a couple of years ago with Ebays servers. 1000’s of account we stolen direct from Ebay. You can’t blame the customers for that!!! The difference between copying a movie and stealing money/goods is when you copy a movie, it’s a copy not the original. It’s not stealing it’s cloning. Check out the latest Samsung website for the same kinda thing. http://www.rlslog.net/samsungs-website-infecting-visitors/
Stealing bank info this time, nice one samsung for keeping up your security!!!
I hope they get years in prison, plenty of community service and have to pay back all of the people from which they stole. Who probably worked very hard for the little money which they were paid. I’ve got no problem with cloning when I see the stars spending an equivalent of our years wage on a dinner or a dumbass pair of boots to make them fell better than us.
What is really funny about this is that if i buy one of those accounts they will just steal my account too
and then sell my account.. LOL
Nice world..everyone in urge to get money any possible way,legal illegal ethical unethical..
It only happens to you once!! Problem is, thats all it takes for someone to lose a hell of a lot of cash. If the “experienced” Internet community werent so Fn High n Mighty, Maybe NOOBS would be much more aware of this sort of thing before it happens. Preventing it from happening at all. Its easy money, make people aware, make it harder, Theyll stop doing it and move on to greener pastures (maybe back to pirated movies, problem is torrents took that cashcow!)
Simple answer: Use the internet against these cyber criminals and spread the word of their latest scams. Were all so well connected, yet still so far apart.
Bah. You guys are retarded. More than half of you are already compromised and don’t even know it. If you’re secure and don’t fall for stupid tricks, this won’t happen to you.
Off Course there is a differance in stealing music, movies and software compared to stealing ppl’s personal accounts.
The difference is in the word “personal”.
If you clone a movie, the company producing the movie loose some money, but stealing these account’s could get the private users in trouble…
And btw… Release groups DONT sell movies, generally speaking. They only want creds for making the movie public for free, hopefully before other groups, and with better quality.
And plz dont look down on NOOB’s. We have all been there once upon a time… Help them to learn instead and we’ll have a better world together…
My son is 2 years old now, A n00b today….
But he will probobly hack your ass off in a couple of years…Muahahaha
steal my account ill sue those cocksuckers on ebay
and wtf are you guys talking about they should die
you act like they were raping and killing children
you guys need a reality check
Steel my account , well there is only one thing to do viz hunt them down like the dogs that they are and stick a nice 9mm in their earole and pull the trigger.
I think that this must be a joke - who the fuck is thick enough to try to sell this stuff on the public internet?
Still - once I’ve downloaded another 76.32 terabytes of shit off the internet I’m going offline permanently - ‘off the grid’ is gonna be a buzzword in years to come believe me.
(hey I like your spam protection - I actually had to think what 6+8 was)
It is best to use linux for all money handling buissness.no chance of hackers in it.Try Ubuntu they to have file protection
like windows. all the virus that are created works only on windows.nothing can be done in linux.the only problem is rarely softwares and games are released for linux,only child will play linux game.but for money matters linux is the best.but no body could help the persons,believing false email.
Fuck ebay, THEY DESERVE IT. Those fuckers steal millions of dollars from people everyday by freezing their paypal acct. for some fucked up reason!!!!!!!!
@John Arthas
Linux is no more secure than Windows is. The difference is that Windows gets “attacked” more often because everyone and his mother is using it. Why write a virus for Linux when only like 0.0001% of your potential victims use it?
If Linux ever gets popular with the mainstream users, you’ll start to see way more Linux viruses.
Jehjoa, but right now Linux is the safest. Who cares what happens years down the line.
i’m stupid and gay, and flap my lip about shit i have no idea about HACK THE PLANET!!!!…. yes because i don’t know shit
cosmic larry… chill man. that sucks for the people whose accs got stolen. definately CHECK EMAILS that you get from ebay and stuff like that… just right click the links that they have… there’s your answer. if it doesn’t say “ebay.com/something” then it’s not legit. BE paranoid about the internet… because the internet is fucked with all the a holes trying to sue you for downloading music that sucks most of the time anyway… and it’s almost always for the popular rap crap (sorry guys) that’s out. be smart. don’t be dumb.
What would be funny was if you bid on an random account and he sent you your username and password
that would be hilarious…as long as it wasnt me. on the subject of eBay in general though, doesn’t ebay own paypal??? im pretty sure they do, to which i would say wtf is wrong with them? they charge you out the ass to list your item, if it doesnt get sold you dont get your money back. then, if it does sell, you get hit over the head with a % fee of the final selling price. then, on top of that, the same company that ebay owns and recommends you to use for payment, charges a fucking fee to accept the payment, whether its straight funds or credit. maybe its just me, but with the current state of ebay, it wont be long before its gone.
What about those casual internet users who are 40 or 50 year olds and don’t know as much as all of us, who are basically nerds who spend too much time on the internet. Do they deserve their accounts stolen? Some of you cunts are so ignorant, you think everyone who uses the internet knows everything about it. News flash, some people have a life outside the internet or they just can’t grasp how to learn how to use one properly. Quit being dicks
Right on, Toad…. Everyone has to start somewhere right? If these people with knowledge weren’t so busy tooting their horns about how stupid everyone else was maybe they’d realize that they aren’t so smart themselves, because knowledge is aquired, not something you’re born with. Everyone was a noob at one point.
Well I’m more than 40 or 50 and as cunning as a basket of monkeys, I defy anyone to con a penny out of me on the net. Age has nothing to do with stupidity. Ebay is just the internet car boot sale, where people sell their junk, and save the Petrol.
Peeps just need to be made more aware of what gose on, this is the internet and everything and anything gose here. People using it for any kind of transaction need to take lots of care, as for steeling gose I think if you are on this site then were just as bad as them?
Stay safe….
viewing a news site about warez releases is no more illegal than watching cnn show news on a murder.
sure they have links to torrents, big deal, i’d go as far to say you can even legally download a .torrent file as it is not subject to any copyright and to steal/clone/whatever a copyrighted work, it needs to be in some viewable form, so 90% complete on a torrent full of rars is still not stealing.
so comments like “if you’re on this site you’re as bad as them” simply don’t apply.
my final thought is has anyone ever put any thought into how many major companies benefit from warez downloaders, all the hard drive makers, internet companies that charge more for higher speed/download limits, blank dvd/r makers, youtube, google (indexes a massive amount of torrent files), the companies that build the fibre networks to carry all the extra data.
ohh yeah
bill has a good point
KRIEGHOFF, I admire ppl like you.
Just don’t fall for cheap tricks, like phishing emails and stuff. Hacking will live on and it’s ok. Just be smart and careful and don’t be a victim.

boy why did I read all the way down to here…
identity theft is already big buisnis in the uk so it ‘ll only spread oud over the net.so boys and girls put all your personal data and bank data on your desktop in a folder marked read me ^^
The eBay and Paypal cheaters have been busted anyway so… bashing on the naiveness of the victims now would be somewhat moot. All of us however, are victims to spam. So spammers should get more of the hot seat in the busting department.
In any case, as with the points made above over a year ago, I still maintain that stealing from big businesses (downloading movies and music) would just cost them profits while stealing identities would cost personal livelihoods including personal liberties - potentially. It is true that the former is a lesser evil than the latter, albeit still evil admittedly nonetheless. If you illegally download music, you’re not directly hurting the artist (hey, they should earn their keep in live performances anyway), you’re actually hurting the distributing company more.
OK, I’m off to resume my downloading activities now hehehe.
Here is the list of hacked eBay accounts, profile links included =)
(list is a bit large sorry, contact email&MSN included)

p.s: send me a email I will arrange a safe transaction
I love these knew buzz words the media pop up with. Identity Theft is nothing new, it’s outright fraud that’s all. You would seriously think that identity theft, murder, rape, child porn, drugs, terrorists and everything else bad never existed before the internet came along. That’s especially true if you read the Daily Mirror, Daily Mail or even worse, the Daily Express in the UK. Oh wait, the same newspapers said exactly the same things about VHS in the very early 80s, comics in the 60s and pop music in the 50s.
To be honest, we have had so much coverage of phishing emails, virus problems, spyware etc. that I am surprised people still get caught out. How many times do people need to be told for goodness sake.
i been ebay 2 years and no more ebay account can be use.
if I dont want to open anymore , I want to buy set of account(no hack)
eBay and paypal!!
anyone help!
there just scumm!
These guys are smart…$5 for an account. These guys where probably working so damn hard it wasnt even worth the money, even though its free….HAHAHAHAHAHA now they will sit in jail or get fined more than they ever made. Russians come up with some of the stupidest ideas for scams.
to all u people who are deluded enough to think that the stealing of pay pal accounts is worse then downloading movies u are sadly mistaken the scandle with pay pal cost a thew thousand pouds/dollarsand the effected people will be coverd and refunded but the illigal downloads cost the entertainment industry tens of millions wich they do not get refunded so who are the bigger criminals? i leave it up to you to decide
On my website last year I had a guy come in and was donating money from stolen paypal accounts, we gave the money back…Did not have to but it was the right thing to do. And last that I check the entertainment industry is not hurting any. What did they have rlslog something like 70 billion dollars last year, and 60 some billion the year before(both record highs)Stealing a thousand dollars from a everyday person working hard for their money is not the same and the “effected” people are not always covered. But let me know something since you made a comment like this “but the illegal downloads cost the entertainment industry tens of millions which they do not get refunded so who are the bigger criminals?” Why are you here in rlslog, This is a search site for games, music, apps, and movies…Is it just me or some thing does not sound right let me know…
Sick my duck! Coz those guys are mthfckng masters, they deserve to take some respect… You download some things - this is the same sht… You can’t blame them 4 this…
ok?
the money was not stolen from the people it was stolen from pay pal and im on rlslog because its a good site with some good torrent links and i am fully aware of the the consenquences of downloading torrents and it dose not bother me. what bothers me are the idiots who think that they harm no one and are better then other online criminals so now you know
