A Halloween night explosion shattered a window at a building housing offices for eBay’s PayPal division, forcing the evacuation of dozens of employees.
PayPal spokeswoman Amanda Pires said Wednesday that the company had not received any threats but declined to comment on the investigation. The blast hit the first floor of the company’s network operations center.
“We believe this is an isolated incident,” she said. “We’re working closely with local authorities. We have everything under control.”
Business was not disrupted, but the complex was closed Wednesday and cordoned off by police tape. About 1,900 eBay and PayPal employees who work in buildings on the campus where the explosion occurred were asked to work from home or at another eBay campus in San Jose, Pires said.
