| eBay Urges Users To Change Their Passwords After Cyberattack Posted: 21 May 2014 08:30 PM PDT  If you are an eBay user, then change your passwords immediately. That is the message coming from eBay headquarters, who are facing the embarrassment of having a database hacked and users’ encrypted passwords stolen.

So it would be a good policy to pre-empt any encryption cracking and change your password now. eBay is claiming that Paypal is not affected but it wouldn’t hurt to change your password there as well, for peace of mind at the...

And now we want to know what you personally think of this idea. Who Are You Again? We want to know, Do... Read the full article: Do You Want The Right To Be Forgotten? [We Ask You] |
