I just came back from one of the most beautiful places on Earth: Palawan. Together with some blogger friends and a little help from Seair<\/a>, we found ourselves in Coron for a weekend break from the city and all the stress we get from work.<\/p>\n It quickly dawned on me: my eBay account was used without my consent. I logged into eBay, and to my surprise, I was still able to use my old password. I quickly sent an email to the seller explaining my situation then changed the password, as well as the secret question. I switch browser tabs to view my e-mail. Apparently, while I was doing this (or maybe during the time I was spaced out right after I realized what happened), the fake Nina sent the seller a message, asking about shipping costs. The words toy collector, Philippines, travelling and Australia in one sentence stood out the most. Either it was a really freaky coincidence, or the hacker read my eBay profile and dug through my eBay messages (which is pretty empty), or worse; the person knows about me through my blogs, which is a really disturbing thought.<\/p>\n
\nVilid for passage<\/em><\/div>\n
\nWe had amazing time together; we were all dreading the time we’d have to leave and go back to the reality of daily life. My intoduction back to my reality was pretty harsh: 12 or so e-mails were from eBay notifying me about items I bid on, and items I won. I never went anywhere near a computer during the three days I was out of town, and I certainly never viewed the items I won.<\/p>\n
