Just to add a tidbit that I saw on the nightly news here; ebay stated that this was not a typical security breach but rather a case of two employees who lost control of their own passwords and access was made by signing into these "official" ebay accounts. Apparently their customer service workers need to change their own passwords?
Anyway, I had just went through the process of changing my passwords about six weeks ago, and since ebay says that this all happened back in February... I changed only my ebay password... and that to be on the safe side.
My passwords have gotten quite a bit stronger over the past months - no BS stuff anymore. Screw it- may as well bite the bullet, get used to doing it for real till a better solution comes along.
