Angry Ebay Warning

This is a heads up for all of my friends at YT. There has been lots of mention of buying things for cheap on Ebay. Yesterday, I learned that my Ebay account had been hacked and someone changed the email address associated with it. They used my ID to list several expenseive items for sale, including a back hoe! I got the heads up when Ebay sent me an email advising my request for a change of email address had been processed, but I never made such a request. When I went to sign in to see what was up, I could not access my account. Fortunately it does not appear that they accessed any of my financial info, but they did have access to my name, address and phone number. This is very scary. I have had to change all of the passwords on all of my Ebay and email accounts. I suggest you make it a habit to change all of your important passwords every 90 days or less (email, online banking, ebay, paypal). Use passwords that cannot be easily hacked by softwear, such as mixing upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols like @ and &.
