If you haven’t already heard ebay has been compromised or hacked a few months back. Sensitive data was obtained and as a precaution eBay is asking all members to change the password asap.

As a guide, don’t use the same password or something very similar to other website passwords. Make sure your password is 8-10 characters long, contains upper and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Do not used “Password1234” or anything like it.

The worst part is I still have not heard anything from eBay. It is however, all over the news and from all the credible news websites. Even worse is that the actual data stolen is enough for a villain to perform identity theft.

Just makes me wonder if any online site is safe and will we reach a time when the internet becomes less online due to out of control theft.
