eBay Users Need To Change Passwords Immediately

This attack took place in late February and early March. Users need to change their passwords ASAP and keep a sharp eye on bank statements and other suspicious activity that could indicate users have been the victim of identity theft.
The company says PayPal accounts were not affected by this attack.
