Ok, so a little update.. I changed all my passwords on my credit cards and online banking accts. And I notified the credit bureaus about it. So basically if my social is used at any time to open any type of acct im notifed first. And i have to answer a bunch of questions. Easiest way for me to oepn up something is to tke the freeze away a couple of days b4 trying to open up an acct. if not, the process is just prolonged a bit. lesson learned. b more careful lol

If you got that screen prompting for your information while going to ebay.com, and if you're sure you didn't typo the URL, then changing your passwords won't do squat. You really need to make sure your DNS settings are correct.

I mean if your DNS settings are wrong and your being pointed to phishing websites, you've got a bigger issue, and it will be easy for the attackers to steal information from you again, although I hope you'll be more vigilant.


What you haven't asked yourself yet is:

Why did Ebay ask me for all that information to begin with?

Your options are:

1. It really was ebay and the questions were legit.
2. It wasn't ebay, I must have mistyped the URL and landed on a phishing site.
3. It wasn't ebay, and I didn't mistype the URL.


The last option is ebay got hacked, but I'm discounting that for now. Options 2&3 can be checked by viewing your browser history. If you're sure you did not typo the URL, then something had to take you to a fake ebay when you typed it into your browser. That something would be evil DNS servers. Your system may be configured to use them by downloading a trojan that changes your DNS settings.
