Question

eBay is an example of an online company that has been faced with numerous security issues. For example, imagine you purchase a digital camera on eBay. Three months later you might receive an email asking you to log in to the system to update your credit card or PayPal information. Of course, this email is not actually from eBay and as soon as you log in your information will be stolen. What type of information security breach would you consider this to be?

Answer 1

Answer: Phishing

Step-by-step explanation: Phishing is the type of security issue that arises when any individual is contacted by email or message to gain their confidential information through pretending as legal institution so that people can share their information easily.

eBay is also facing such cyber-crime issue so that customer's confidential data like debit card details, credit details details, passwords etc can be achieved through a illegal site posing to be eBay.
