Ebay And Paypal Hacked

Condor, I learned from my past jobs involving a crazy number of passwords to incorporate a system. The key to the system, is some sort of relation between the site and password that only you know. I have a few different letter combos and numerical combos. I combine them in multiple different ways depending on the site. Maybe if the site contains an even amount of letters in the address, I will put the letters first and in original order, followed by the numbers. Maybe if the site is a hobby site, I'll add 1 to the first number, or the last number, or subtract one. It is a key that you make up and always have the answer to. You only have to remember a couple words and a couple number combos. Even though its my system, I still end up forgetting all the dang time!

I have Keepass and really like it. I used to have my logins and passwords listed in a spreadsheet, but Keepass is tons better.

The data slurped includes

Name
Address
Date of Birth
ebay UserID
email address

So you can no longer trust emails FROM ANYONE that use your name or zip code to "prove" they have non-public information about yourself...

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, hand-key the URL into a browser session. Never ever ever click on ANY link in ANY email. It's that simple.
