Change your ebay password.
EBay Inc said that hackers raided its network three months ago, accessing some 145 million user records in what is poised to go down as one of the biggest data breaches in history, based on the number of accounts compromised.
It advised customers to change their passwords immediately, saying they were among the pieces of data stolen by cyber criminals who carried out the attack between late February and early March.
EBay spokeswoman Amanda Miller told Reuters late on Wednesday that those passwords were encrypted and that the company had no reason to believe the hackers had broken the code that scrambled them.
"There is no evidence of impact on any eBay customers," Miller said. "We don't know that they decrypted the passwords because it would not be easy to do."
She said The Hackers gained access to 145 million records of which they copied "a large part". Those records contained passwords as well as email addresses, birth dates, mailing addresses and other personal information, but not financial data such as credit card numbers.
Miller also said the company has hired FireEye Inc's Mandiant forensics division to help investigate the matter. Mandiant is known for publishing a February 2013 report that described what it said was a Shanghai-based hacking group linked to the Peoples Liberation Army.
EBay earlier said a large number of accounts may have been compromised, but declined to say how many.
Security experts advised EBay customers to be on the alert for fraud, especially if they used the same passwords for other accounts.

Amazon started their operations in India about a year ago and they spent the first 10 months in only strengthening our backend," An Amazon person said. Now, the online retailer has started focusing on building its brand in the country as well.
Amazon's rapid expansion in the segment comes at a time when the online fashion space, which touched $559 million in 2013, is witnessing a frenzy among stakeholders for a larger pie. Besides market leaders like Myntra and Jabong, Flipkart, which reported $1 billion in annualised sales in March, also sell apparels on its platform. Flipkart is on the verge of acquiring Myntra to ramp up its presence in the fashion space.
"We work the customer backwards. Hence we pick up a particular customer segment and try to solve all needs before moving to the next," Vikas Purohit, category leader for fashion, Amazon India, told. "We believe there is room for multiple formats and players, and most importantly for innovation," said Purohit, adding that the company is relentlessly focussing on expanding brands on its platform apart from innovating on customer touch points.
