The first link explains what and how it was compromised. This is not a
major loss of data it is only the potential unauthorized access of a
database.

This looks suspiciously like a phishing attempt or something...I have no
notification on my ebay account about any sort of breach of security. And I am
always afraid to click a link in an email that warns of a breach! Anyone else
heard about this?? Ebay would notify its members, I'm sure.

WARNING - SECURITY BREACH! Earlier today, eBay announced that a cyber attack
carried out three months ago has compromised customer data, and the company
urged 145 million users of its online commerce platform to change their
passwords in order to protect their personal information.
While they claim the files stolen did not contain financial information
including credit and debit card numbers you can never be too safe so we
strongly urge you to change your password as well if you use the site.
Furthermore, eBay stated it found no evidence of unauthorized access to
financial information at its PayPal payments subsidiary, which encrypts and
stores its data separately.
These security breaches and cyber attacks seem to be happening more and more
and it's important that you are aware of each one so as to protect yourself and
your personal information if you use any and all affected sites and services.
