Hacker UK

Hacker UK

Going through one of my accounts, I noticed someone has set up a personal store using my credentials, apparently in the UK.

Here's another loging that couldn't possibly be mine:

OrgName:        OVH Hosting, Inc.
OrgId:          HO-2
Address:        800-1801 McGill College
City:           Montreal
StateProv:      QC

etsy.com/shop/41epzuevakw11tra

This store is connected to my email, receiving my sign-in 2-factor coes, and when I go to the link it says my last update was September 23, 2023...

Tried to reach out to Etsy. Send email to support. They are no longer accepting incoming phone calls. 

 

There is no place to contact Etsy. Their "support" email says to use their form, once in my account. I'm in my account, so is the hacker. I have their IPs. I can only reach out about an order. There's no where to put a concern in about who is setting up shop using my name and business. 

 

Here is a link, save twenty-minutes of your life trying to find it: https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000108008#issue_scams_suspicious_msgs_buyer

It says the seller has been active on Etsy since 1969.


This could explain why every single item I looked at, put in my shopping cart to buy the next day, were all sold by morning. Strange. I've bought many book covers on Etsy for my book lines. Many of the covers I looked at years ago, like 2016, are still up. To return to my account and find every single item purchased (some were not even ones I wanted to buy, but to ask the designer if any AI was used (I don't use AI covers).
