Why do you think the Feds suddenly dropped their carping about it? Sounds like you may have been the victim of a keylogger. Good trick of savvy ID thieves: go to a public computer like a library or Dell kiosk in the mall. Pop in yer USB key with the rootkit on it, then reboot when the salesguy is ogling the underdressed teenage girls swarming by. He installs the prog, then removes the key and reboots. Computer reboots and he now has root/admin access to that machine, which then logs everything that everyone does with it. He can either revisit every few days to collect the data files or if in the library, have it ftp the data logs to a temp storage site (or even a gmail account) in the middle of the night. nice huh? [/quote] I could definitely see how that could be done. Sadly this is a Catholic university too. Hopefully they don't have any of my other passwords. I guess I will find out if I get more emails saying I bought and sold stuff. Is it possible that it was a spyware program downloaded accidentally? What an odd scam. The more I thin about it the more I am confused that all they wanted was to list stuff with my eBay account. Couldn't they just open their own?
