From\u00a0eBay<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Earlier today eBay Inc. announced it is aware of unauthorized access to eBay systems that may have exposed some customer information. There is no evidence that financial data was compromised and\u00a0there is no evidence that PayPal or our customers have been affected by the unauthorized access to eBay systems<\/span>. We are working with law enforcement and leading security experts to aggressively investigate the matter.<\/p>\n

As a precaution, we will be asking all eBay users (both buyers and sellers) to change their passwords later today. As a global marketplace, nothing is more important to eBay than the security and trust of our customers. We regret any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you.\u00a0 We know our customers and partners have high expectations of us, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure online experience for you on any connected device.<\/p>\n

Ebay is asking its users to\u00a0reset their passwords\u00a0due to\u00a0the 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.<\/p>\n

I really think that we have\u00a0become desensitized by this kind of security breach. Nevertheless, I have changed my eBay password. As a matter of fact I did not even remember what my password was; I had to request a password reset. The last time I bought anything from eBay was about 9 years ago; and it was from a verified and known seller.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
