New one on Me
I got an email from Ebay this morning (and it was from Ebay), confirming my request to reset my password. I haven't done that, so it looks as if someone has tried to get into my account. Helpfully, Ebay provided the originating IP address: 62.232.41.217, which sure isn't mine.
Obviously I've ignored the request, however, I'm now left wondering how secure my Ebay account is. Obviously I have a username & a password & whilst changing my password is easy enough, a complete change of details would wipe my history & therefore my reputation as a buyer & seller. Presumably, one would have to have only my username to request a password reset & that is the basis of the attack, but could they somehow garner my details after that attempt??
