Ebay hacked - change your passwords!


Recommended Posts

Paypal is a separate company with separate passwords identity etc.

Paybal info is not stored on the ebay site so it shouldn't be a problem.

There are links to the pay pal site as there is on thousands of sites now,

but a link isn't going to access your account.

Yeah, I saw that afterwards - Paypal was not affected, so you don't "have" to change your password there, but out of an abundance of caution, I did... and it can't hurt to do so. Before I read that Paypal wasn't involved in the hack, I assumed that since Ebay owns Paypal, and there are links between the two, the possibility of a data compromise was there... but thankfully, as you said, Paypal wasn't affected.
