Rick beat me to it. Just heard from 2 people....changed mine!

Yes..it really happened//yes..it happened to me...

I came in at 3 pm a few weeks ago, got online, opened ebay and noticed i had a bunch of stuff in a shopping cart...i never do that..

opened it there was $1000 worth of stuff waiting to be paid...called ebay and they helped..i already changed my password..was inconvenient..took a little time...but not bad

It scared me BAD...called my bank..they told me to kill everything i had tied to paypal....and ebay..and thats what sucked...

killed a checking acct i had for 20 years...killed all my credit cards..all my debit cards anything with a digital foot print....

put it all on 1 credit card etc...still worried...but i dont live like that...

I read about it in the news and changed my passwords ,but have yet to receive an email or notice in my messages from Ebay themselves. Has anyone else gotten notice personally from Ebay about the breach?

[Enoch]

No and they called me today to talk about global shipping exposure and did not mention it at all!!!

[John]

.... Do you then also change your PayPal password? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

According to Ebay, Paypal was not affected.

They wrote to me 2 weeks ago and asked me to change my password. I thought it was another scammer email until I checked my ebay messages and saw the message there too.

Got a message from ebay just today to change the password.

Never got a message, but changed it today.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Tried to change it yesterday and a message stated it couldn't be done - system must have been on overload! Message also said that no transactions could occur in my account until the p/w was changed.... ironic.....

[leach]

Got message from them to change mine so I called them they told me they don't send messages out like that they told me might be people trying to get into accounts they had me send the email that was sent to me told me don't click on the link and use my password so I did that sent them the email.

[Bill Pritchard]

Done, thanks for the heads-up, Rick. I changed my PayPal password too, just for good measure.

[Enoch]

They said Paypal was not hacked, but interestingly enough for the very first time today I was given a security challenge from paypal while sending a request for payment.....
