Hi Guys
Got a mail from EBay asking for a password reset after they got hacked.
Looks legit but wondering if you guys got it too ?

Jack, this was reported on the BBC news so I imagine it's genuine. I've changed mine and everything is fine, I've also changed my PayPal password just in case.
In fact each time you log into eBay there's a reminder at the top of the screen to change your password, So unless the hackers have managed to hack the eBay website I would say it's genuine.

Joe.
