Well that's not entirely true. First off, it indicates that the breach was relatively contained. Or at least EBay want's you to think that.
The smaller the number the less chance there is that the credentials were to more privileged employees. Not every employee is created the same. Not every employee has access to account data and not every employee could send customers corporate communications.
Now yes, the who they got is important over the how many, but the how many can be stated without giving too much away.
- freehunter 12y agoEven still, if the number of Unix admins at eBay was only 0.001% of the total number of employees, the fact that 100% of their Unix admins had their accounts compromised means that, yes, a small number of employees had their accounts breached but it would still result in 100% of their user accounts being breached.
