ebay Was Hacked

Unfortunately ebay was hacked this morning. It is recommended you change your password.

Gee that sucks. Good thing I don't have an account.

Thanks sidious for the note - I've updated mine.

Good idea to change the password, but since they were strongly encrypted the greatest danger is getting hit with bogus phone calls and e-mails with fraudulent deals. I don't fret too much about these kinds of things. Just part of living in the digital age. Most fraud is committed at point of sale when your credit card data gets copied, not from online occurrences. It should also be noted that Pay Pal data was not hacked. It's on separate servers.
Now then....back to my auctions!

Y'all that do not have ebay accounts are very lucky, as it is the pipe smoker's worst nightmare and greatest fantasy. I cannot stop buying pipes and it shall be the death of me, especially if my gf finds out how much i've been spending!!! :twisted:

Thanks for the heads up!

Always something :roll:

I have been bidding like crazy using cigrmaster's password all morning - the man is finally going to get some decent pipes

Last night my wife asked me why a new pipe keeps showing up at our place every week... 8O

Changed my password. Really though, who would buy the crap I bid on! Now which one of you lot used my account to buy a BMW?

 

[pylorns]

Ah, changed password, glad I use lastpass.

Thanks for the info, made me do what I should of done a long time ago, changed all but the Forum, now if someone posts something about Peck and Harris it's not me. :rofl:

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered something this morning and had not seen the Yahoo article. Hopefully my password was changed in time.

If you scroll down the page here this guy has a bunch of nice pipes going for 1$ at the moment, like 3 pipes for a dollar with no bids so far mainly, including a pre-1933 kaywoodie and yellowbole. All in great looking shape.

 

[novicemaker]

I tried placing bids and all were outbid, why im not fond of ebay.

Right here .99 cents right now. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/GREAT-ESTATE-PIPES-SHOP-SALE-2-VERY-OLD-PRE-1933-KBB-CLASSICS-BOTH-VERY-NICE-/400714079864?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d4c6b9e78&_uhb=1

 

[novicemaker]

They all have bids on them set up automatically to go higher. I tried two other postings by the same person

Someone hacking my account would probably SAVE me money! :P

That's funny!

You may want to also change your PayPal password too. EBay owns them, and I may be just being paranoid BUT, everybody remember the Target debacle? It was announced 3 MONTHS after they knew it happened!
