WARNING for ALL users

[oompaloompa]

it was all over the news yesterday, I am surprised it has not been big news on this forum......

I cannot be bothered to change them right now.........

the breach was 2 months ago apparently, but just come out with news now....

[mercurial333]

The suits had to figure out how to handle the situation

[GreenBean]

There were low-key reports just after it happened.

Mostly got ignored.

Man I don't really feel like changing about a dozen passwords, then I have to change like 2 files and another large file with info sheet on it. Blah.... I guess I'll get to it.

All they can do is buy with an ebay acct with no paypal with just a credit card. I don't know the procedure but ebay may ask for the 3 digits on back. Even so almost all ebay's accts have paypals so they have to get the paypal email and password to do financial loss.
All of that is half hidden inside ebay half typed in...
It may be a marketing trick to get every buyer to visit ebay...maybe buy something to test the password!! HA!

eBay Data Breach -- The 'Inexcusable' Impact on 233 Million Customers (EBAY)

This said this is the 2nd largest data breach in US history. Maybe this will tarnish ebays rep just enough that some other viable alternative can get a fighting chance

[exxomscp]

IMO, there are other things to be concerned about..

What really pisses me off is that EB didn't even email it's 233 million customers! WOW GOOD JOB EB!

What do you guys think about the person trying to flog off the database dump for 1.453 Bitcoin?

Hundreds cause too much attention....$5 bills don't!

[GhostWhoWalks]

Well that was 2 hours worth of work. Thanks EB!

After having received a few mail asking to change my password on my account (actually mine are accounts but Ebay do not know ;-))

Now is a must!!

As soon as I log in I am forced to change it. Via mail, phone or... don't remember.

[oompaloompa]

I was so proud of my older account passwords, lowercase and no numbers...all gone.

It email, text, or phone on record with ebay.

I just do the email thing.

90% of my accounts are sleeper accounts. No one would be interested in them.

[nodeal]
