eBay and its former execs settle cyberstalking case brought by journalist couple

{"# A $60M Settlement":"The case against eBay began in 2019 when then-CEO Devin Wenig allegedly ordered his communications team to silence a pair of EcommerceBytes journalists. Seven security employees were later charged with cyberstalking, but the executives responsible for instigating the campaign did not face punishment.","# The Harassment Campaign":"Security employees engaged in a covert harassment and cyberstalking campaign against the Steiner couple, including threats like live cockroaches and a funeral wreath. This behavior was deemed antithetical to eBay's values by both parties involved.","# Lessons Learned":"The settlement underscores the need for stronger company policies and ethics training. Since these events occurred, new leaders have joined eBay and strengthened its internal controls and procedures."}
