There is a notice on their homepage saying all users should

Still, I looked high and low on ebay.com and there was no obvious
mention made of a problem UNTIL I clicked on my personal account and
attempted to modify my password. Only THEN did a box pop up suggesting
that I change my password due to the hack.

Stupid Ebayg

Ebay isn't the stupid one here. The notice appears, very prominently, at the top of the page
as soon as www.ebay.com loads.

Thanks for the ad hominem attack, Doug. You're in fine form today.

FWIW, I attempted to view the message to which you refer, three separate
times, doing a manual log-in so that I would not chance blowing by the
message on the www.ebay.com site. No message/warning ever showed up
until, as I said, I attempted to change my password.

Now, almost twelve hours later, I go to www.ebay.com and lo and behold
there is the message prominently displayed, as you said, on the main
page. Can't miss it and I DIDN'T miss it this morning because it wasn't
there.

Since I'm on the same internet connect (static IP address), the same
computer (that has not been rebooted) and the same iteration of Firefox,
perhaps the problem was that the message had not made its way through
Ebay's server farm and I was hitting on a server that had yet to be
updated. I dunno but I do know it wasn't there when I diligently looked
for it this morning and your insinuation notwithstanding I'm not stupid
or blind.
