While at this point it is unclear to many users exactly what happened, those who frequent the Trust & Safety discussion forum on Ebay first noticed new threads appearing, with each thread containing the personal information and credit card account numbers of Ebay users. Over a short period of time, the number of threads steadily increased, until Ebay was finally forced to shut down the discussion board.
