eBay: Scammers Obtained Customer Data from PayPal Merchants

eBay posted a warning on its announcement board Friday warning users
that some third parties may have obtained limited information about
selected PayPal customers, and is informing those customers affected.
" The information obtained includes first and last name, mailing
address, email address, and information about the transaction. No
personal financial information was disclosed. PayPal passwords, Social
Security numbers, driver's license data, credit card numbers, or bank
account numbers are protected because PayPal always encrypts this data
and maintains it on secure servers that cannot be accessed by any
merchant or third party."

eBay said the third parties that obtained the information may seek to
use it to target users with a deceptive email appearing to come from
PayPal or online merchants. These hoax emails, also known as phishing,
attempt to trick recipients into giving out their financial
information. Typically they are mass-mailed, but it's possible that
fraudsters with users' personal information could launch a targeted
phishing campaign.

Recipients are often unsure whether hoax emails are legitimate or not.
If fraudsters could customize the mailings with the recipients' names
and mailing address, it's possible even savvy users could succumb to
the scam.

“There are times when we have to change course!”

There are times in life when we just have to sit back for a moment, think about what lies ahead and then decide on our next course of action.

Perhaps the following will give you a different insight into the way forward.

Here is the actual radio conversation of a US naval ship with Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1995. The Chief of Naval Operations released this radio conversation on the 10th October 1995.

CANADIANS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the north to avoid a collision.

CANADIANS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the south to avoid a collision.

AMERICANS: This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.

AMERICANS: This is the Aircraft Carrier USS LINCOLN, the second largest ship in the United States Atlantic Fleet. We are accompanied with three Destroyers, three Cruisers and numerous support vessels. I DEMAND that you change your course 15 degrees north. I say again, that's one-five degrees north, or counter-measures will be undertaken to ensure the safety of this ship.

CANADIANS: This is a lighthouse - Your call!

Great story isn’t it? And it got me thinking. Are there things in the way of success that just can’t be moved – or I am being negative?

Probably not!

But – I know you take the point of the story – it’s definitely worth the time and effort to make certain that anything that lies in our way on our road to our goals is not an immovable object.

Or that perhaps we’re viewing it as an immovable object when, with a bit more creative thought we can chart our way round, through or over that obstacle.

"It makes you less inclined to moan about your shoes when you see the man with no legs!"
