That is correct. I never use the same one on any other site.

Yes, having one password is like having one key for everything you own.

You bet it is. :winky:

Sure, I was grumpy with eBay this week (still am), but it wasn't me :)

:rotflmao:LOL!!

150 million users.
145 million active accounts.
Heck, the population of the whole of Australia is only just over 23 million.

Stolen - passwords, names, email address, home addresses, phone numbers, birth dates and other personal information.

This is really serious stuff.
They seem more concerned about unauthorized monetary activities.
MY concern is identity theft!

I guess I won't be buying on Ebay for a while now! :rolleyes:

Have you received the promised email from eBay?

In Canada, we've been sent no notification. I don't think it's possible that eBay.com was breached, but eBay.ca wasn't - there is too much cross traffic between the sites.

We need laws to force e-retailers to inform consumers, immediately and completely, about stolen information, and its possible implications. I don't buy the, "it just lets hackers know what works" excuse. :Soapbox:

Well, when I went to sign in yesterday eBay told me. I could not sign in until I changed my password and they were bogged down so I had to wait to do it.

So just now I went to eBay and whoa I could just sign in again. Well that was something. So I continued and found out how to change my password and I did. What a rigamarole. :( But it's done. Except now it doesn't want to go directly to my Watch List. I can get there but it's not right there when I sign in. Oh well, I'll figure that one out.

But, after thinking it over, if I had tried to bid (I did not) they might have told me that I had to change my password. Just a thought. IDK

I did mine early.... it was difficult, slow, but it worked.

I haven't checked my email yet. But they did message me in messages on the site to change my password, which I had already done.
