While investigating an unrelated case of Phishing yesterday, we came across the biggest haul of stolen EBay logins we've ever seen.
How big?
Well, here's a screenshot of the "Word Count" from the document the details are stored in:
Each line is taken up by a single EBay Username, Password and EMail account.
Unfortunately, there are 5,534 of them and they're spread across 121 pages. Here's a random screenshot of page 113, each page containing roughly 46 usernames apiece:

Quite a lot of the accounts don't exist or are no longer registered users, but there's enough live accounts in there for this to be something of a worry (there also don't appear to be any duplicates, which is unusual for a collection this big). At first glance, it's hard to say exactly where the data has come from or how new / old some of it is (it's apparently been passed around various file download sites over the past week or two), though a massive "roll-up" of stolen accounts from various Phishers seems most likely.
