eBay kept their heads in the sand.





Ostrich with head in the sand



It has now come to light that eBay knew that customers data was being compromised, three months before it was announced that the fortune 500 company with over 148 million users was hacked.  To me, it seems like the old ostrich head in the sand excuse; eBay needs to take immediate actions now to minimize the negative feedback the company will surely be getting in these coming days and weeks.  It is my opinion that ignoring these types of security breeches will only lead to more issues, not only for the company, but also the 148 million users that use eBay on a daily basis.  Ultimately, eBay and other online-companies will need to implement a more strategic security plan as well as, the need to let account users know when their personal information is in jeopardy of falling into the wrong hands.
