    • This is very bad because if this can happen to ebay then it can also happen to amazon which I always felt was untouchable.

    I had to learn this on the radio when I woke up.

    I have no email alert from ebay and no message on my ebay account telling me to change the password. It looks like ebay has no procedure for immediately tackling a problem like this one. It is probably an organizational flaw where employees are punished for questioning the security of ebay.

    Employee- "What should we do if all the passwords are stolen ?"

    ebay Boss- "Shut your filthy mouth, that will never happen and if you bring it up again clean out your desk".

    • To date, I have received no notification from eBay whatsoever. I have to find out about this through word of mouth and search engines.

    When I heard about this I thought that when I tried to get into my account I would be prompted to go to my email to change my password. I was surprised that I had no problem or messages from ebay. I was able to see my account information and personal information with no problem at all.

    Apparently, ebay cares only about ebay and the few pennies they get from a customer means more to ebay than the thousands of dollars a household could lose plus the months if not years of financial and administrative struggle a victim of identity theft could endure.

    If they got ahold of my password then what else did they get ?

    As eBay hastily informs its customers of its massive privacy breach, the company told the Australian Law Reform Commission that stopping reputation damage was enough of an incentive to protect customer data, and that statutory action against privacy breaches was unnecessary.

    Overnight, eBay announced that it had been the victim of a "cyberattack" that saw its employee login credentials compromised between late February and early March, allowing access to eBay's corporate network, and the company's customer database containing its users' names, email addresses, physical addresses, date of births, and their encrypted passwords. eBay first became aware of the issue around two weeks ago.

    Thank you for this information. Not a word about this story on the local NYC "news" stations. You can always count on one Tribe member to cover for another, of course.

    No word from eBay itself either. Yet when I went to change my password, I ran into a banner screen telling all members to do the very same thing. Why, I wonder, isn't this banner superimposed on every page on the site?

    Yet the story you link to says the breach happened two months ago.

    This could easily turn out to be worse than the Target disaster of last year, which was also, first, covered up and then minimized—as it continues to be. Yet every time some delinquent with a criminal record of a dozen or more violent offenses complains that he gets only sixteen bucks an hour for filling up a few shelves at Walmart, the media's screams of "racism" and "injustice" can be heard for weeks on end.

    I'm sure it's the merest of coincidences that eBay and Target are glatt kosher operations and Walmart is still owned by an evil family of goyim.
