   【中國鞋網-電商頻道】美國電商巨頭eBay Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY)盤前發(fā)布聲明稱其一個用戶數據庫于2-3月遭遇黑客攻擊，同時數據遭竊取，因此呼吁用戶修改秘密。eBay 表示用戶信用卡和金融數據無礙，黑客攻擊的數據庫信息僅包括用戶姓名、地址、電話、電郵等信息。該消息致使eBay 開盤股價下挫近2%，截止無時尚中文網發(fā)稿時間跌幅1.94%至50.95美元。

　　據eBay 聲明稱，黑客竊取部分eBay 員工登陸密碼造成該次事故，而eBay 大約在兩周前發(fā)現此事。

　　以下為聲明全文：

　　eBay Inc. (EBAY) said beginning later today it will be asking eBay users to change their passwords because of a cyberattack that compromised a database containing encrypted passwords and other non-financial data. After conducting extensive tests on its networks, the company said it has no evidence of the compromise resulting in unauthorized activity for eBay users, and no evidence of any unauthorized access to financial or credit card information, which is stored separately in encrypted formats. However, changing passwords is a best practice and will help enhance security for eBay users.

　　Information security and customer data protection are of paramount importance to eBay Inc., and eBay regrets any inconvenience or concern that this password reset may cause our customers. We know our customers trust us with their information, and we take seriously our commitment to maintaining a safe, secure and trusted global marketplace.

　　Cyberattackers compromised a small number of employee log-in credentials, allowing unauthorized access to eBay corporate network, the company said. Working with law enforcement and leading security experts, the company is aggressively investigating the matter and applying the best forensics tools and practices to protect customers.

　　The database, which was compromised between late February and early March, included eBay customers’ name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth. However, the database did not contain financial information or other confidential personal information. The company said that the compromised employee log-in credentials were first detected about two weeks ago. Extensive forensics subsequently identified the compromised eBay database, resulting in the company’s announcement today.

　　The company said it has seen no indication of increased fraudulent account activity on eBay. The company also said it has no evidence of unauthorized access or compromises to personal or financial information for PayPal users. PayPal data is stored separately on a secure network, and all PayPal financial information is encrypted.

　　Beginning later today, eBay users will be notified via email, site communications and other marketing channels to change their password. In addition to asking users to change their eBay password, the company said it also is encouraging any eBay user who utilized the same password on other sites to change those passwords, too. The same password should never be used across multiple sites or accounts.（中國鞋網-最權威最專業(yè)的鞋業(yè)資訊中心。合作媒體： ）
