OK,

Yesterday, I was dismayed to find my E-bay account had been hacked into and some cheeky :censored: had listed a couple of expensive mobile phones on it on a one day sale, incuring me listing fees of £10.64...:shoot:

Luckily, I contacted E-bay very quickly and they removed the two rogue listings and credited me the listing charges..

So, my question is, how do these hackers manage to do this? I had not compromised security by revealing my password to anyone, still I suppose if the Enigma code can be broken....:scratchchin:

Obviously, I have now changed my password......
