Ebay Hacked
I just got a call from a friend and was told that Ebay has been hacked.
It is suggested that those who use it change their password.

- Good tip...here is an info link to this....Ebay Hacked
- Yep, and though they say that PayPal info is on another network, I went in made changes there as well. Probably a good idea to change security questions too.
- Can't hurt to enable two factor authentication as well.
- I didn't know this, thanks, I just changed my information.

I think he is talking about the security questions that some sites provide.- Has anyone actually received an email from EBAY about changing passwords? I haven't? And will wait until they make whatever updates necessary to secure their servers before doing so.
- Ditto
I have never sold anything on there, and PayPal has an old credit card number
I will wait for the official notice
Although the security experts recommend frequent password changes on All internet accounts
Most of us do Not do that 1492 wrote:

As an eBay buyer and seller, I receive at least a dozen marketing emails each month. Seems like a no-brainer to use those same channels to notify me about a database breach.
