Getting the early word out that e-bay was hacked.

[ebmerc]

Hey all. I know most of us in the various Arena communities are big e-bay users and the news is just now coming out about this hack. Be on alert for an official e-mail from e-bay and of course be wary of any sort of phishing.
I read about it this morning on the Chicago Tribune and it looks like more sites are reporting the information. I'm about fed up with it all myself. This might be what makes me ditch paypal and ebay. :/

I also wanted to add that I'm not trying to freak anyone out by posting this. I just love this community and the MHarena and want everyone to be safe and aware.

Thanks very much, I had no idea! I was due for a password change, anyway.

I'm unable to log in right now, but hopefully I can try tomorrow.

Just attempt to log in - and then it will ask under the password box 'forgot password?'  If you're already logged in, log out, and then do the above.

When you sign in you go to account. Then you click on personal information on the left hand side. It will have your account info there and you should be able to edit it from there. Hope that helps.
