	WARNING! My email was stolen my Internet Hackers. Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Send no info or saves to my address at yahoo. This morning a bunch of jail bound hackers hacked into my ebay site and attempted to defraud thousands of dollars using my login.

I was able to halt all auctions and email the bidders but in retaliation the hackers broke into my Yahoo account (which is what I use to access Ebay) and changed all account info on it.

Ebay has security staff and promptly halted all auctions (yes they resubmitted the auctions) and transferred my account to another email of mine.

Yahoo, however does not consider internet security to be of any importance and neither I, Ebay, nor the FBI (Ebay was able to track all info on the Hackers and share that with the FBI) can contact anyone at Yahoo to regain my email.

SO don't send anything there as I cannot access it. Send all email of saves to GhengisFarb(at)msn(dot)com.

Sounds bad, damn hackers

Same kind of thing happened to me some months ago; few criminals somehow managed to hack my account at finnish huuto.net internet auction, and bidded hundereds of items in my name.

Cant tell how this happened either, i am almost paranoid to security and still something like that happens.

They didn't hack my computer, they hacked my accounts at the websites. The best we can figure, after discussing it with some friends at the FBI is that my Ebay account fit a profile they were looking for.

It was over 3 years old, had nothing but positive feedback, and had been inactive for a year. I hadn't sold or bought anything for a year. They must have thought they could use it and no one would be the wiser. Then when I stopped the auctions they traced back to the email address that got notifications and hacked that too.

Fortunately, Ebay has security staff. Yahoo is a joke, Ebay, me, and the FBI were really pissed that there was no one available over the weekend to track information at Yahoo. Just a third rate internet company I guess.
