all manner of mechanical apparatus...
Not sure if this is local or global none the less there could be dire implications.... Fortunately the hackers didn't get into pay-pal so they may well go on a spending spree but they cant pay for anything they buy....

IMPORTANT: PASSWORD UPDATE

Dear eBay Member,

To help ensure customers' trust and security on eBay, I am asking all eBay users to change their passwords.

Here's why: Recently, our company discovered a cyberattack on our corporate information network. This attack compromised a database containing eBay user passwords.

What's important for you to know: We have no evidence that your financial information was accessed or compromised. And your password was encrypted.

What I ask of you:
Go to eBay and change your password. Changing your password may be inconvenient. I realize that. We are doing everything we can to protect your data and changing your password is an extra precautionary step, in addition to the other security measures we have in place.

If you have only visited eBay as a guest user, we do not have a password on file.

If you used the same eBay password on any other site, I encourage you to change your password on those sites too. And if you are a PayPal user, we have no evidence that this attack affected your PayPal account or any PayPal financial information, which is encrypted and stored on a separate secure network.

Here are other steps we are taking:
As always, we have strong protections in place for both buyers and sellers in the event of any unauthorized activity on your account.
We are applying additional security to protect our customers.
We are working with law enforcement and leading security experts to aggressively investigate the matter.

Here's what we know: This attack occurred between late February and early March and resulted in unauthorized access to a database of eBay users that includes customers' name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth.

However, the file did not contain financial information. And, after conducting extensive testing and analysis of our systems, we have no evidence that any customer financial or credit card information was involved. We also have no indication of a significant spike in fraudulent activity on our site.

We apologize for any inconvenience or concern that this situation may cause you. As a global marketplace, nothing is more important to eBay than the security and trust of our customers. We know our customers have high expectations of us, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure online experience for you on any connected device.

Yes, I've had that email which is genuine - but I've also had two spoof emails since the news broke - one supposedly from PayPal and one supposedly from eBay. The Paypal one looked very plausible but the eBay one was laughable - it began:

Dear Customer,
We're constantly working to make Ebay more safer, simpler and more convenient for our customers.
This means that from time to time we update all users informations.

I forwarded them to spoof@paypal.com and spoof@ebay.com, together with the email headers and received the info shown below.

I'm sure you're all internet savvy - but there are likely to be quite a few phishing emails coming through - the advice below is useful.

Rik


Hello,

Thanks for forwarding the suspicious email you received.

The email is a spoof, also known as a "phishing," email. (That's phishing, as in "fishing" for personal information.) It didn't come from eBay. Our Trust & Safety team is working to disable any websites it links to.

Copies of any emails we send you about the status of your account or a change in your account information will be displayed in My Messages.
This is especially helpful since many spoof emails try to convince you that your account is in jeopardy.

-- Important --
*Never* respond to a suspicious email or click any links in the email message. If you think you may have given out personal information in a spoof email or website, you need to take steps to protect your identity right away. For more information about what to do, go to:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/account/protecting-identity-theft.html

If you'd like to learn more about how to spot a spoof email and stay safe online, go to:

http://pages.ebay.com/help/tutorial/accountprotection/js_tutorial.html

Keep those reports coming -- you're helping protect the global Internet community! Our Trust & Safety team works closely with Internet Service Providers to shut down fraudulent sites. We also send your reports to Web browser companies so that they can develop tools to identify spoof sites.


Sincerely,
eBay Trust & Safety Team
