eBay discovers breach -- requests user passwords be changed replied by cyberfox @ Sat, 24 May 2014 09:28:37 +0000

Greetings,
eBay has significantly changed their layout AND had everyone change their passwords, a feature which is hard to get right with JBidwatcher. I’ll be working on this Saturday, i.e. tomorrow.

Sorry it went south so suddenly.

p.s. The reason password change is hard is because JBidwatcher tries to log in as soon as it starts up, and if it fails multiple times eBay can do very bad things like lock your account or put up ‘captcha’ which prevents login by tools like JBidwatcher. Combine that with a major layout change and it’s a recipe for serious problems.
