I haven't received an eBay email yet but it's all over the news.

| Thanks for the heads-up Paul! I've not received any emails or notices from ebay.  What wonderful customer care they have.  |

| I wouldn't trust half of what some of these companies say anyway. Apparently it's normal for the event to be announced at a later date after an attack, so they have time to investigate it and make a fix etc. haha the only email I received was a 'new items from your favourite sellers' I've added another link in the 1st post with some more info. _________________________________________________ Paul F,

| Thankfully my ebay and paypal addresses were different and not shared with any other accounts I use (like banking or forums) but if you share the same password with any other website, you should really change them as well.

| So that at least explains why I got an ebay invoice for this the other day...  Better change my password before things are getting worse and I will have to explain more at home... Thanks, Paul!  |
