“StubHub announced that it has been a victim of a global fraud operation that’s lasted over a year. Criminals obtained peoples credentials from other websites and via keylogging software.

The criminals then proceeded to make purchases on the eBay-owned ticket site. Company official Glenn Lehrman has told Reuters that authorities in the US, Canada and the UK will conduct arrests later today, at which point more details will be released. Worried users of the service should relax, for the moment at least, since the company has promised that any unauthorized transactions were spotted and refunded back in 2013.”

All these hacks on companies are so common nowadays that something drastic needs to be done to stop this happening otherwise internet shopping could be severely impacted. Maybe high street shops may reopen again. Unlikely of course.
