  Thanks for the heads up. Yes old news yes and only just getting in the media but this was the first I heard of it. Ebay definitely never sent a message to say change your password.

  Yes the hacking was 2 months ago but Ebay only announced it yesterday, still no message to customers and nothing on their home page. which is not really good enough.

  Just checked and one has now appeared, but I still think we should have been informed before.
