eBay hack exposes database alongside personal info
4.4
Popular online auction site eBay has reported that it experienced a major incident back in early spring involving their site itself being hacked and compromising their internal database alongside personal information of it's user base. The attackers gained their access through a series of compromised employee accounts, eBay is now warning users to change their passwords. The website is responsible for over $200 billion of global commerce last year alone while being represented in over 1000 cities worldwide.
eBay regrets any inconvenience or concern that this password reset may cause our customers. We know our customers trust us with their information, and we take seriously our commitment to maintaining a safe, secure and trusted global marketplace.eBay
I have an eBay account but i don't use it so i guess i'll be changing my password sometime soon, i cant believe they didn't send me an email or something.
I didn't hear about this hacking until now. I use eBay for pretty much all my shopping because you can get stuff cheaper. I need to change my password.
