Former eBay Executives Sentenced to Prison for Cyberstalking The US Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts issued a press release on Thursday regarding the sentencing of two former eBay executives.The Department of Justice press release follows: Department of Justice U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, September 29, 2022 U.S. Attorney’s Office District of Massachusetts FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, September 29, 2022 Two Former eBay Executives Sentenced to Prison for Cyberstalking BOSTON – The former Senior Director of Safety & Security at eBay, Inc. and the company’s former Director of Global Resiliency were sentenced to prison today for their roles in a cyberstalking campaign targeting the editor and publisher of a newsletter that eBay executives viewed as critical of the company.The defendants’ toxic brand of online and real-world harassment, threats, and stalking was outrageous, cruel and defies any explanation—all the more because these men were seasoned and highly paid security executives backed by the resources of a Fortune 500 corporation.“Both men demonstrated a clear contempt for the law when they weaponized eBay’s security department to engage in an incredibly disturbing pattern of retaliatory harassment and intimidation to torment this couple, who, thankfully, did not let their fear silence them,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division.“While today’s sentencings cannot erase the substantial distress their victims suffered, it does make it crystal clear that anyone who goes online to threaten, intimidate, or harass others will face real-world consequences, including federal prison time.” Harville and Baugh were arrested and charged in June 2020."
