    eBay Compromised -- Change Your Password

    Slashdot link: http://it.slashdot.org/story/14/05/2...ay-compromised

    TL;DR: Some eBay employee credentials were used to gain access to an encrypted database containing users' name, password, phone number, physical address, e-mail address, and date of birth. How big of a problem this really is depends on how eBay salted/hashed the database.

    *edit* Just noticed that there's already a thread about this going in OT.

    Sucks to be on their DBA team. No devs or other operations folks would have had the necessary credentials to access those databases.
