Ebay hacked

[bannination]

You should probably change your password on ebay and any site that uses that same password. The company isn't exactly being forth coming about how the passwords were stored other than "encrypted".

Ebay itself is urging people to change their passwords.

You wouldn't know it going to their front page. At least, it doesn't display any warnings for me. Seems others have the same experience as well from some of the comments on their own forum.

EBay asks 145 million users to change passwords after cyber attack

I've noticed it in many fields - business, activism, NGOs, etc. - websites often lag other public representations. You know how those IT management guys are.

Fixed that for you. :-)

Why did it take you so long?
