Hackers quietly broke into eBay two months ago and stole a database full of user information, the online auction site revealed Wednesday.
Criminals now have possession of eBay customer names, account passwords, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers and birth dates.

The company said the passwords were encrypted, but there's no telling when or if the hackers can decrypt them. As a precaution, eBay is asking everyone to reset their passwords Wednesday afternoon -- but not yet.
