[Krebs on Security] Expert: Fake eBay Customer List is Bitcoin Bait

Krebs on Security has posted a new item.

In the wake of eBay's disclosure that a breach may have exposed the personal
data on tens of millions of users, several readers have written in to point out
an advertisement that is offering to sell the full leaked user database for 1.4
bitcoins (roughly USD $772 at today's exchange rates). The ad has even prompted
some media outlets to pile on that the stolen eBay data is now for sale. But a
cursory examination of the information suggests that it is almost certainly
little more than a bid to separate the unwary from their funds.
