URGENT - ALL MUST READ!

Hey all,

I know from previous discussions with you that lots on here use eBay.

Hackers have hacked in and stole encrypted information about users and eBay and urging everyone to change their passwords for your protection as soon as you can!!

Just done mine.

Pretty straight forward top left hand drop down box by your name > account setting > personal settings > password edit.

Hi
Are you sure the email you recieved isn't a scam itself?
I've just been on EBay and there is no notification message in my message box, which I would expect if something like this had happened.

I'm just a bit cautious as I'm get about 5-6 emails a day telling me my Paypal account has been suspended but it hasn't & the email isn't from PayPal.

I would just double check before doing anything xx

Grrr, just tried to change mine but it won't let me as everyone else is trying to do the same thing. Sigh!

Thanks, just done mine now xx

[greanan]

Yip just done mine too

[amylouise867]

No problems - glad lots of you have got round to doing it.

I agree you would think that as soon as you log in there would be a message or a pop up requiring you to change your password to continue.

I'm the same, my husband said I had better change it and I said "maybe if the hackers find out what my password is they could let me know!

I read this late last night! Seems like a damage limitation thing going on. Trying to limit the bad press maybe?
We had not clue until it was spread all over the media/newspapers etc.
