[outages] eBay password changes -- were they attacked?

[Jay R. Ashworth]

I now have a couple of unrelated notices in my hand that people's eBay
passwords were changed -- by eBay.  One of them was mine, in consequence of 
which I believe they're real, but I'm led to wonder:  did eBay change a
Whole Lotta Passwords?  If so, why?  Anyone else get a "We changed your
password due to possible fraud" email overnight?

Reply direct, I'll summarize.

And remember, if you did, and you changed your password, and you use
eSnipe, change it there, too.

Cheers,
