[h=1]Ebay Users Urged To Change Their Passwords[/h]
Ebay has asked its users to change their passwords following a cyberattack that compromised the site's database.
The database, which was compromised between late February and early March, involved hackers infiltrating the database by accessing the log-in details of eBay employees.
The database included eBay customers' names, encrypted password, email address, physical addresses, phone numbers and dates of birth.
However, the company says extensive tests carried out on its networks confirmed the breach had not resulted in any unauthorised activity for its users or compromise of their financial data.
Ebay said it was "best practice" for users to change their passwords as it would "help enhance security for eBay users".
 
according to the tv news they are also expecting people to now get phishing e-mails to tell people to change their passwords from bogus eastern European crooks like the other 90% of the worlds cyber crime comes from.
 
Had to change passwords on email and ebay. Stupid me using same password for 2 places.

Oh well. It will take 94 sextillion years to crack my new password on a desktop PC so that should be ok compared to the 6 Billion years my old one would take. Although my new Ebay one will only take 32 sextillion so will need to change it soon ;)
 
And a completely fortuitous side effect is the hundreds of thousands of dormant accounts that will soon show on the books as currently active users!

Ebay Hacked

Hi All,


I am told that Ebay was hacked last night and I understand the advice is that you change your password right away.
