This is real. You have to search around on ebay to find the spot. Under
"account"
I found a site which said to first check ANY site to see if they're using a
safer NEWER protocol, BEFORE you change passwords.

This is an eBay detailed announcement.
http://www.ebayinc.com/in_the_news/story/faq-ebay-password-change
This is the general announcement.

The first link explains what and how it was compromised. This is not a
major loss of data it is only the potential unauthorized access of a
database.

This looks suspiciously like a phishing attempt or something...I have no
notification on my ebay account about any sort of breach of security. And
I am always afraid to click a link in an email that warns of a breach!
Anyone else heard about this?? Ebay would notify its members, I'm sure.

WARNING - SECURITY BREACH! Earlier today, eBay announced that a cyber
attack carried out three months ago has compromised customer data, and
the company urged 145 million users of its online commerce platform to
change their passwords in order to protect their personal information.
While they claim the files stolen did not contain financial information
including credit and debit card numbers you can never be too safe so we
strongly urge you to change your password as well if you use the site.
Furthermore, eBay stated it found no evidence of unauthorized access to
financial information at its PayPal payments subsidiary, which encrypts
and stores its data separately.
These security breaches and cyber attacks seem to be happening more and
more and it's important that you are aware of each one so as to protect
yourself and your personal information if you use any and all affected
sites and services.

The delayed notification implies that there is no evidence of bulk loss
of data. Some unauthorized individual accessed the database. You are
supposed to change all passwords at least monthly anyway and use a
different one on each site. <-- this will happen when elephants fly and
the sun rises in the west.

I have to admit that the email below looks suspicious. But I think the
