ebay Was Hacked

[mso489]

Ebay just sounds like trouble to me, but that's because I'm an old coot, not because I have any

insight about ebay. The source/provenance question, and integrity of descriptions, and the

distraction of the auction concept as opposed to a straightforward purchase. The whole deal is

slippery and evasive. You can save a nice bunch of cash on a particular item, but if you use ebay

regularly, you probably lose as much "winning" items you wouldn't select in a straightforward

purchase. The culture of the site and the rules are just shifty enough to bother one. So this

hacking kind of echoes that feeling of insecurity.

I just spent all morning changing passwords though I'm not sure why, if someone wants my identity they're welcome to it. Hasn't done me much good.
