Is that in cat years or people years?

So, out of nowhere, my password into eBay was changed. How afraid should I be. Also, has anyone logging into paypal recently had to verify bank account or credit card information and then change the pasword?

So, out of nowhere, my password into eBay was changed. How afraid should I be.

Pretty afraid.

I had a not-complex-enough eBay password, and someone guessed it and got into my account. Luckily, eBay detected potentially fraudulent activity and put a hold on my account.

I ended up changing my paypal password, but I don't remember if that was compromised as well.

It's been the same password for ten years.

Aims, my ebay account was hacked, I ended up having to cancel it. I would contact ebay/paypal immediately, especially if the passwords are the same or similar.

I'd be concerned, Aims. A normal protocol if they legitimately needed you to change it would be to freeze it, then have you verify your identity (not! your financial details) and change it yourself, not to change it for you and tell you after the fact.

With PayPal, I signed in with my password just fine. Then they asked me to verify one of the several cards/accounts I have linked. Which I did, then they asked me to change the password.

I went to sign into to eBay on a seperate matter, and my password didn't work. I was able to go through the resetting the password thingie, but they wanted to call me to unlock the account but that was our LA landline and is long since not our phone number.

That's scary, Aims.

I'm blessed in that I got a good long nap in before the tree-trimming guys bothered me. And that was to move my car. And I'd been dreaming I was taking an essay test. So I'll call that a win.

Aims, if you haven't signed into Ebay in a long time, they did improve their security settings awhile ago. Like a good year or so ago. But a call/e-mail to Ebay wouldn't be a bad idea, since it seems hacking ebay is an easy thing to do, and ebay phishing is a past time in some parts of the world.

ION-, the money boss of the theater ran the Big D marathon on Sunday. His wife posted pictures in Facebook, and he is wiped out by the end. Talking in the office, he was saying how he was pissed that he ran/walked the last 4 miles. That he was wanting to run the whole thing, and how exhausted he was at the end, blah blah blah. Then I reminded him of the story of how the marathon length came to be, a soldier running 26 miles to tell the news of victory, Nike!, and then collapsing DEAD. Which made him smile and realize, yes, he finished his first marathon! Dude! Be proud!! He came in 23rd for his age group. How cool is that?

ARGH.

So, of course, last night I was all squeeing and bouncy, but a little tipsy and did not actually answer the email I got from the girl. But it's not actually an email, it's a message on Facebook.

And this morning? FACEBOOK IS DOWN AND WON'T LET ME IN! NOOOOOO. EEEEEEVIL.

Oh, how frustrating, meara. You deserve to be able to contact her so you can plan the dance moves....
