E-Bay hacked : password changes needed

[ricktas]

Have an EBay account?

You need to login and change your password.. BUT it gets worse.

Hackers accessed EBay in February and March. EBay have finally decided to reveal the extent of the hack. 233 million Ebay users (every single EBAY account worldwide) have had their customers' name, encrypted password, email address, home address, phone number and date of birth taken. EBay say their PayPal service was not affected so your banking and credit card details appear to be safe if you do not use the same email/password combination.

If you use the same password and email/username for your E-Bay account as you have with say your internet banking, email account password and more, you will need to change the passwords on ALL your accounts affected.

Members can change their Ausphotography Email and Password here in need: http://www.ausphotography.net.au/for...o=editpassword
Note that you will need access to the email account selected when you change your email address on Ausphotography. The site sends a confirmation email to this new address, and until you click the link in that email to verify the email address change, your Ausphotography account will not work.

Warning: You should have different passwords for each site, esp. banks, paypal etc. NEVER use the same password on a site, coz if it gets hacked then they maybe able to access other of your accounts.

Remember, hackers will use 'bots to attack millions of accounts per hour.

FYI Our firewall / anti spammer technology blocks many hundreds of attempts per day; and we don't have any financial data stored here.
