EBay themselves have spammed me enough with this shit already even after I've changed it.

I don't need some oxygen thief sending more lol.

I also got this email and there are no links in it so I'm thinking it's just some mass email they've sent to get everyone to change their password?

Not sure, i only needed to read a small portion of the mail, then pressed printscreen and deleted it.

Should've seen the sender address. Or viewed the source to see if it came from one of Ebays registered servers or a different one.

Ebay was hacked, and they have been sending out emails asking for you to reset your password.

 

This one is legit, I got the same one.

 

There are no links to click, so that pretty much says its legit. Scams always get you to click a link going to their own site to get your password, if they don't provide a link for you to click then what is the point of it being sent ?

Thanks for clarification, can never be too careful these days though.

 

 

I should have looked at the mail entirely.

If its being delivered to a mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird, a payload could be injected and triggered as soon as the email is loaded. There are a lot of unprotected or improperly secured systems out there on which this type of exploit would work.

 

Granted its not the case here, just saying it could happen.

I never knew that, thanks for telling us.

 

What about the built in windows mail in windows 8/8.1 ?

Pretty sure its still called outlook, I dont know. I have about 12 minutes of Windows 8 time at a best buy under my belt, so I couldn't tell you for sure. But if its a new enough exploit, it *could* affect windows 8/.1 systems. Best to just keep the program up to date and have some kind of anti virus that offers SMTP/POP filtering (Avast does this by default).
