IMPORT=NT: PASSWORD UPDATE

Dear eBay Member,

To help ensure customers' trust and security on eBa=, I am asking all eBay users to change their passwords.

=09

Here's why: Recently, our =ompany discovered a cyberattack on our corporate information network. Thi= attack compromised a database containing eBay user passwords.

What's important for=you to know: We have no evidence that your financial information was acce=sed or compromised. And your password was encrypted.

=09

What I ask of you:<=r />
Go to eBay and change your password. If you changed your password =n May 21 or later, we do not need you to take any additional action at th=s time.

=0AChanging your password may be inconvenient. I realize that. We are doin= everything we can to protect your data and changing your password is an =xtra precautionary step, in addition to the other security measures we ha=e in place.

If you have only visited eBay as a guest user, we do not have a passw=rd on file.

=0AIf you used the same eBay password on any other site, I encourage you t= change your password on those sites too. And if you are a PayPal user, w= have no evidence that this attack affected your PayPal account or any Pa=Pal financial information, which is encrypted and stored on a separate se=ure network.

Here are other steps we are taking:

As always, we =ave strong protections in place for both buyers and sellers in the event =f any unauthorized activity on your account.

We are applying a=ditional security to protect our customers.

We are working wit= law enforcement and leading security experts to aggressively investigate=the matter.

Here's what we know: This attack occurred between late Feb=uary and early March and resulted in unauthorized access to a database of=eBay users that includes customers' name, encrypted password, email addre=s, physical address, phone number and date of birth.

=09

However, the file did not con=ain financial information. And, after conducting extensive testing and an=lysis of our systems, we have no evidence that any customer financial or =redit card information was involved. We also have no indication of a sign=ficant spike in fraudulent activity on our site.

We apologize for any inconvenience=or concern that this situation may cause you. As a global marketplace, no=hing is more important to eBay than the security and trust of our custome=s. We know our customers have high expectations of us, and we are committ=d to ensuring a safe and secure online experience for you on any connecte= device.
