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.

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!

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.

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.
