Here's a little more info on this. Ebay says the hack occurred two months ago and they discovered it a few days ago. Not so sure about financial info and paypal being safe. After all, it took two months to figure out they've been hacked. At the very least, member email addys are surely in hackers hands. Besides changing passwords, (every 3 mos. is good) it's also a good idea to add yourself to your contacts list. Since viruses are spread using your contacts if you ever receive an email from yourself you'll know you have a problem.
