I'm amazed that such a high-profile site actually is guilty of the brain damaged practice of storing encrypted passwords :-/ One would think they'd know better. Or at least the people they pay would know better. You don't store passwords (encrypted or not). That's a stupid idea, and has been known to be a stupid idea for a long time now. Maybe that's why they were reluctant to make this public sooner. Who knows. This is a thing that can make you look incompetent.

The accounts might still have been there dormant, if your personal details such as address / phone / email are the same, same problem

Well, I guess that's ebay fees going up then to cover the cost of their incompetence! :banana:

Page not available Ebay is asking its users to reset their passwords due to the unauthorized access to our corporate information network. This may result in a delay of service due to the high traffic volume. We ask for your patience and that you return to eBay soon. In the meantime, please be assured that no activity can occur on your account until your password is reset.
Haha, just when i went i clicked on " change password" And those whining about someone accessing all your information.. All of that is public knowledge anyway, why are you crying, have you forgot phone books that contained everyone name,address and phone numbers and another 20 ways to get same information. Really, what good is it to someone to know your phone or address.. I know address of everyone around me, wow ill go and sell that... or something

If you vote, anyone can find your address on the internet. All they need is your name.

oh it is but then i can only log to the account atlest the one i remeber but cant do anything other then that cause said account is suspend and i not paying them what i never owned them to begin which why the account suspended in first place. Ebay has ****ting habit of siding with the buyer and screwing the seller over even when seller show proof and buyer does not, which why i stopped using them to begin with.

Was the compromised server in Europe or North America? I got no email and just logged in and there was no mention of being compromised.

i dont think ebay would actual tell people it happen, and if was compromised they would force reset everyone password or atlest should. either way my accounts cant be edited and i not paying them what i dont owe just to change my pass on account i have even touched in over 5+ years They sure haven't forced password reset on my end even if they did would never know what pass was cause the mail used is now long gone.

we changed in february without a notice because we had a few occurrences of ghost payments or 'paid' accounts. i forget off hand but our ebay accounts person was perplexed about something and he doesn't get perplexed. i remember the day but not the circumstances. we were probably slighted for a few hundred dollars.

Like said ebay/paypal has favored the buyer over the seller for long time and will pretty much still refund the buyer even if they show no proof and seller did. In my cause they show no proof never never getting the package I show proof to ebay/paypal with confirmation number it was shiped to address that was on ebay file for the person. they refund him then thought i was gona pay the ebay fee's after that. that when I pretty much said screw ebay and stop using then refused to pay them for those fee, they did on 2 accounts of mine same situation. Either way suspended account arnt aloud to change passwords or latest i cant fiqure out a way. and i sure as hell dont remember my paypal account cause i stop using it at same time.

Use two-factor authentication provided by Verisign: I have one built-in via Ironkey. Ebay supports it. Regardless if I have a weak password or not, hackers cannot bypass two-factor authentication via token mechanism. It's a permanent solution to this type of crisis. https://idprotect.verisign.com/orderstart.v http://www.ironkey.com/en-US/encrypted-storage-drives/250-personal.html VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP). The IronKey™ Identity Manager also supports VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP), a strong authentication service used by financial and commerce websites. It's a very nice security feature add-on to Ironkey USB.
