So... using the same password for PayPal... that was a bad idea. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 22, 08:31 2
- Jesus, for a site that's had all their passwords compromised, they're not making it easy to find their password change link. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) May 22, 08:36 1
  - yeah, it took a minute to find. -- nm - Andie May 22, 08:37
note that reuters has altered the headline to remove "all" -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 08:15
Gives them negative feedback. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 08:14
the story at reuters -- (link) - Beryllium May 22, 08:14
(i guess i should be glad i hadn't changed my address? they did have my credit card info though.) -- nm - Andie May 22, 08:11 7
- They said CC info wasn't stolen, right? - spamlet May 22, 08:19 1
  - yeah. that is the word right now... -- nm - Andie May 22, 08:20
- Doesn't look like I had any credit card info there. (Interesting -- my last transaction was buying my uke almost 5 years ago.) -- nm - mara May 22, 08:16 1
  - the story says (take that for what it is worth) that credit card information wasn't taken. emails, addresses, birthdates, and encrypted passwords - Andie May 22, 08:19
- Did ebay have it, or did paypal have it? Because I'm pretty sure that paypal's data wasn't part of the hack ... -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 08:13 2
  - eBay had it. -- nm - Andie May 22, 08:15
  - If you are a seller, eBay gets your CC number to charge you. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 22, 08:15
um. wow. -- nm - Andie May 22, 08:11 1
- We did not really have any security because, we are just eBay. -- nm - eBay May 22, 08:12
What color is that? -- nm - Spawn Lord May 22, 08:10 6
- Surprisingly low on the gibson index. Just another popped cloud service. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 08:11 5
  - I mean, the chinese hacking a US pipemaking company, stealing their designs, and using that as a competitive advantage - that rates higher. - Beryllium May 22, 08:13 3
    - Which pipemaker? -- nm - spamlet May 22, 08:28 2
      - Westinghouse too - the pipes were for nuclear power stations -- nm - Roger More May 22, 08:32
      - Hmm. One of the smaller ones. "Us Steel"? Never heard of them. -- (link) - Beryllium May 22, 08:30
  - Thought so. - Spawn Lord May 22, 08:12
