so first my pretty old email account got hacked, and a bot was sending lots of emails. bot seems to be russian
then, i changed my password, cleaned my mac but found nothing
today i got a message that an item is sold through my ebay account. a surfboard for 199 euros
i changed my email of my ebay account, deleted the items, there were 3 surfboards and in the end deleted my ebay account
anyone has any tips how to behave in these situations? i never had a problem like this before

get a new password for all your accounts, do malware scans on your devices, any old accounts you don't use deleted them to minimise your digital footprint, enable multiple step security on any exsisting accounts, create the strongest passwords possible

the other month a bot spammed me an old password from some account I don't know what it was from, but I recognised the password as one of mine, it was probably from a massive data leak rather from a company rather than an individual account being hacked, I imagine that's what has happened to you, but for peace of mind id do some of the things I suggested

searchable database of large hack dumps. put your credentials in to see if they're amongst the popular things floating around the dark web. sometimes, as a bonus, they have a footnote about how your password got on there in the first place

i should probably just start closing shit i'm not really using, tbh
it would make me kind of sad to cancel ebay. they've been increasingly shit over the years; haven't bothered with them for anything in ages... i have had the account since Feb-18-99, according to my userinfo page. that makes the account literally over twenty years old.
the first thing i bought was some "eastern acoustics" powered PC speaker kinda things... they're beefy, they sound good enough for $15 or whatever i paid, and i am actually using them as my monitors for hardware jams / general music blasting in the living room right now.
paypal did not exist, then. i mailed a check.

it would be charming that they haven't updated their site design in a decade if it wasn't so completely terrible

modern site design is all "let's make it feel like you're using a smartphone" and while the business end of the stick is accessible as shit, anything more than trivial is buried under a maddening series of menus, swipes, whatever. back when web was all desktop, there was more density to the interface, and, thus, easier access to more subtle functions. the first gmail interface comes to mind here -- i would love, love, love to switch back to that right now. the recurring redesigns have made it more, more, more full of empty white space and widgetized bullshit and then we have a moment at the office where multiple people have to send a similar email and suddenly everyone's saying "hey google wrote the email for me" but it's different for everyone. like, the guy with a thick russian accent, what google generated for him was as perfectly fucked up as his comments in source code are.
anyways, i liked the old-skool gmail. i would respect google so much more if i could just flip over to something like that. hence, my really obtuse joke -- if i liked ebay's 10yo interface as much as gmail's 10yo interface, it would be charming if they'd have stuck with it

When John Donahoe took the reigns of North KorEbay it was absolutely clear that Caligula was divorcing and re-marrying his horse over and over again, and that a ruthless demonic attack was taking place against vital buying and selling infrastructure, and just like twitter+youtube+facebook+more all colluded in a giant racketeering orchestrated attack to deplatform alex jones and more, ebay+amazon both colluded together to completely sabotage 100% of the income of non-crony sellers. They did it with glee as malicious trolls, taking sick masturbatory pleasure in their twistedly creative horse marrying lulz, changing the ebay logo to a drab less colorful font, posting pics of the CEOs that looked like eric cartman's 'innocent buttercup' type of fakeness when he takes a school picture. They weaponized the feedback system and returns, micro controlled people with acute fear, had popups that made you enter your sister's breast size for "security". It was a beta test of shadowbanning, later used by other tentacles of the oligopoly today like youtube. They gave a greenlight to using economics to slow kill the population. These people... are fucking dangerous. They know the address, bank account, ip, mac address, phone number and more of everyone with an account and are absolutely linked to the shadow government deep state. Think about it, everything... that is bought and sold. That covers... the entire economy, whether you are a car parts seller or a phone seller or a computer or toy or anything sellers... they ruthlesslessly criminally monopolized it all through malicious fraud at a scale that can only be described as crimes against humanity.

You have to experience it for it to make sense I guess. One word: kafkaesque, others have described it as such, I'm just repeating it. Others have been driven to suicide by ebay+amazon's economic attack already I'm sure; I almost did.
