Actually, there is NO SUCH MESSAGE on their home page nor in any
messaging to their registered users as of 5:55AM, CDST, today.

If you, Dean, received an email notifying you of this "hack" I suspect
that you were duped by a phishing expedition and have given up your own
password to ebay.


Well, I just looked at their homepage again. It is there. I
clicked a couple links to look at some listings. That part seems to be
working also.
I didn't receive emails about the hack. I typed Ebay hack into
Bing search. There are several references to it. Among those is CNN,
MSN, and ABC. It's possible they've all been duped.
