so I guess other than changing our own passwords we all ought to be a bit more vigilant regarding hijacked accounts being used for a while...

"The database... included eBay customers' name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth," it said.

"However, the database did not contain financial information or other confidential personal information.

Surely address, phone number and date of birth is confidential personal information?
