A newly available documentary, 'Whatever It Takes,' examines eBay workers' plot to cyberstalk journalists and critics.

The film details how former eBay employees orchestrated a campaign of harassment against a newsletter editor and her husband, including sending disturbing deliveries and tracking their movements. The scheme involved senior staff from the company's security and communications teams.

Federal prosecutors charged seven former eBay employees in 2020, with several pleading guilty to conspiracy and stalking charges. The documentary features interviews with the victims, law enforcement officials, and former colleagues.

'Whatever It Takes' premiered on streaming platforms this month, offering a detailed look at corporate retaliation that shocked the tech industry. The case raised questions about workplace culture and accountability at major technology companies.
