Hello Lounge Members,

I don't know how many members are selling items on Ebay right now, however Ebay has been attacked since Saturday evening April 25, 2026 by a couple of groups, one group called 313 using DDOS, I can't remember the othetr groups low life name.

Any way you may want to keep a close eye on your banking accounts or anything else that these low life individuals might want to use your information for.

I can't even sign into my Ebay account, when I attempted I received an error message, one message informed me that i didn't have clearance to that information.

Check out your accounts, banking & Ebay if you want to give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up - I'll check into this as I also could not "update" an ad a little while ago.
I will also reach out to my financial institution after checking the account online to insure it is intact.

If you sell on Ebay you may want to give your bank a heads up notice and ask for 2 step verification on any charges on your account.
A text by phone asking for a yes or no would be great before any charges.

For peace of mind a denial of service attack has nothing to do with the security of a website and doesn't have anything at all to do with personal information stored within.

What it means is the website is being overloaded and can't cope with the number of visits/requests on it and so it fails to load, at a very basic level.

My Page will load, however when I try to login I receive a page with an error message and can not login to do anything.
My page displays all of my ads, but that is it, can not do anything else.
