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!

Yes, as eBay concedes the hackers copied addresses, names, etc..., identity theft is a real danger.

No email.

I had no problem changing my password, although as Kitt found, I did have trouble finding where to do it.
It was fast but I had logged into the AU site, not the US site.

I did that as soon as I read your message here yesterday.

I'm also curious Hockey, if you sign into ebay dot ca

Mine is ebay dot com dot au

I'm not really sure how it all works but they're all the one site really as I can log in to the US one and the Ca one and mine as well using my username and password.

I did too. :( I was going to change my password often as I've done in the past but was lax. It's O.K. now though.

I received the email 4 hours ago. :rolleyes:
Useless sort of email it was too!

Still no email, here. What a joke. Goodbye, Ebay.:mad:
