Encrypted passwords or hashed passwords?

SHA256 hashed. Looks like its salted too...so that should buy everyone a bit of breathing time.

Thanks for the info. It's not that fast if the breach happened 3 months ago though.

Got to love how eBay notified its users the moment it happened

In fact, has anyone been notified by eBay at all yet? Or is the three-year-late media the extent of customers' awareness about this breach?

Well, at least I'm not on the sample. Changed my password yesterday as well.

I haven't gotten a notification yet.

Well if I'm right about the salted part then the risk isn't all that hectic -you'd need either a flaw in the implementation or stupid amounts of processing power to break it. Thats why I think the price is so low...they're effectively selling 145m names + email addresses...not 145m passwords.

Still...something seems off. The price looks too low even for that.
