I got e-mail from eBay yesterday (Tuesday), saying that there had been suspicious activity on my account, and that the account was locked, until I changed the password. I haven't bought anything on eBay in a few years. The message said that any charges that my account had incurred had been reversed.
It's probably a sign of the times that I was sure that this was a phishing message. I checked it a whole bunch of ways before deciding that yes, I should change my eBay password. Even so, rather than click on a link in the e-mail message, I went to ebay.com in my browser, and went through the procedure to change my password.
I checked the activity log for my account, and it didn't show anything. So I'm still not sure if this means my account was broken into or used.
If everyone is indeed being asked to change their passwords, then the message I received was a bad way to say it.
