Shall I report to the police since my ebay account has been hacked into. Luckily i did not lose any money.

This morning, i received an email saying my ebay account password was changed. then i try to log into my ebay, i cannot. then few minutes later i saw an expensive notebook(Alien don't know what...costing~US 3000) listed under my ebay account, but the hacker sell it for US0.99. of course alot of people bid..

Then i report to ebay of course, too many people bid how to email them to stop bidding? but ebay slow to reply. U know something? the ebay is linked to my bank account and paypal account. so i quickly called up bank to cancel my credit card immediately to stop any transactions. the hacker trying to withdraw all MY MONEY asap..wah..

but i already stop the creditcard, now i'm safe.

So shall i report to the police?

Make report.

Also, don't do any spyware/adware check in case the police need your comp to investigate who did it. Laughing

Before you do that, make sure if you have any porn or anything, get rid of them before they charge you with possession of pornographic materials...

The police need to take your comp back for awhile to do investigations, make sure you don't need to use it for that time being. Laughing

You report to police, the do some investigation

few months later, send you letter saying they found no link thus case close.

then next year newspaper you are one of the statistics you reported.

but to be safe, i think you report, in case Ebay want some "evidence"

hoganrock SG

evidences that I'm being hacked? i think it's their ebay account being hacked into. don't tell me they want to take the whole computer to US for investigations? Rolling Eyes

No use... the computer geeks at Cantonment Complex will still be able to dig up all the pornographic files even after they have been deleted and recycle bin emptied.. they can still retrieve it even if you reformat your harddisk.
