Sure was nice of EBay to post a large notice on their home page and then send all users an e-mail, letting us all know about this.

You had to dig for it, under the Announcements section of the landing page.

Hopefully, you have your Paypal account tied to one of their RSA tokens, and that generates a one-time access code for each logon and transaction. Two-factor authentication is better than a single weak password.

Of course, it doesn't help that the Chinese hacked into RSA several years ago.......
