Ebay is asking its users to reset their passwords due to the unauthorized access to our corporate information network. This may result in a delay of service due to the high traffic volume. We ask for your patience and that you return to eBay soon. In the meantime, please be assured that no activity can occur on your account until your password is reset.

Hackers broke into the database "between late February and early March," but eBay didn't detect a problem with employee log-in credentials -- which the hackers had hijacked -- until about two weeks ago, the statement said.

What happened?
Our company recently discovered a cyberattack that comprised a small number of employee log in credentials, allowing unauthorized access to eBay’s corporate network. As a result, a database containing encrypted password and other non-financial data was compromised. There is no evidence of the compromise affecting accounts for Paypal users, and no evidence of any unauthorized access to personal, financial or credit card information, which is stored separately in encrypted formats. The company is asking all eBay users to change their passwords
What customer information was accessed?
The attack resulted in unauthorized access to a database of eBay users that included:
· Customer name
· Encrypted password
· Email address
· Physical address
· Phone number
· Date of birth
When did eBay discover this issue?
The company discovered that unauthorized access to our corporate network had occurred earlier in May. We immediately began working with security experts and law enforcement to aggressively investigate the matter.
If my information has been compromised, what are the risks to me?
We have no evidence that any customer financial or credit information was involved. Likewise, the file did not contain social security, taxpayer identification or national identification information.
The information that has been accessed is often publically available. Thus, the primary risk is increased exposure to consumer scams.
Following a cyberattack of this nature, it is common that fraudsters will try to exploit well-known brand names like eBay in an effort to obtain personal information. They attempt this fraudulent activity through phishing emails, texts, phone calls and fake websites.
