Default WARNING eBay was hacked- here is the message

Here is the Message from e-Bay . They also had a News conference to announce it

eBay Inc. To Ask eBay Users To Change Passwords | ebay inc

You need to change your passwords

I read the breech was in late February or Early March but e-Bay caught it two weeks ago
I have never had an an e-Bay account but I know many people here to have one


It is getting ugly on line

Yes, it was today I got the email. I notice the press release you posted was dated the 21st, and it said "beginning today, we will....." Guess it took them that long to get to my account.

OY
Telling people weeks after they knew their accounts were hacked or telling them the food they ate a couple a few weeks ago was tainted seems like an inconsiderate way to do things. :rolleyes:

It was an encripted list of data that was stolen, so unlikely to cause any problems. They are just being cautious but I changed mine as well.
