False Accusation leads PAYPAL to disclose Accounts of others

If you find your name in this list, it means that you are one of the many collateral victims of a psychopath who was able to manipulate the french authorities (in the south of france) to requisition information from EBAY and Paypal by making a false accusation against someone.

One of the collateral victims is the wife of Senator John Kerry.

One collateral victim already acknowledged getting harassed and getting severely affected by this. 

This requisition which was based on a false accusation resulted into Paypal disclosing several individuals accounts and other private information (IP address, physical address, email accounts, phone numbers, transactions).

The falsely accused (main) victim does not know these individuals that were dragged into this investigation.

List of collateral victims whose accounts were disclosed by Paypal can be seen here.  Only the first initial and the last name are shown plus city and state of residence.

Was this an error or was this an abuse of authority? Was this a one-time incident or can this happen again? Whatever it was, it certainly is a real story of how our privacy can be so easily violated.
