Hackers managed to gain access to sensitive data. eBay encouraged users to change their passwords and reassured them that financial information was not stolen, as it’s stored separately and encrypted. Although there were further concerns that the stolen personal information could leave eBay users vulnerable to identity theft.

Despite eBay not confirming who was behind the attack, the notorious Syrian Electronic Army claimed responsibility. Despite the huge data breach and the sensitivity of the data, the SEA said that it was a “hacktivist operation” and that they “didn’t do it to hack people’s accounts”.
