I changed mine.
I made it a bit harder to crack and a lot harder to remember.
Sure hope I can remember it and still use Ebay!

Do you mean did the actual hacking. I have not heard that yet. If so I would be surprised. Usually someone in India. not VA.

The goal is ( for the hacker) to acquire your email and password then run around trying to get into your banking system(s) and also use your information to resell to other scammers -- in Russia there is a mini industry of hackers reselling your information - a common scam is to try and sell access to porn websites and get a hold of you cc # once they have it , your done

I hear that people monitoring Russian websites where they exchange information on hacked information is how security personnel discovered that Target and Nieman Marcus were hacked --the hacked companies didn't even know they had been hacked they had to be informed 3rd hand that there was a breach in their system

Make all your passwords different for everything , banking especially

You will find that Russia and some former soviet block countries are the center of all this activity , where I can only assume it's just about state sanctioned , allowed , and or ignored -  good old Russians
