On Wednesday, eBay issued an advisory to users stating that passwords will need to be changed after a database containing user information was compromised. The only thing actually compromised were the credentials used by eBay staff. The best way to avoid this is to reset your eBay password on the website. The company only says that the passwords were encrypted, and they make no effort to suggest any of the other compromised data was equally secured. There is a high risk of Phishing attacks related to the eBay compromise, according to iSheriff Paul Lipman.”]
