Ebay Got Hacked - This is the same story I feel like I've read 1,000 times. It boils down to "big web site was breached, they stole the password database, everyone needs to change their passwords". A few things:

People always shout about the passwords, but tend to gloss over the fact that someone exploited something to gain access in the first place. In this case, it sounds like, nothing official here, Ebay employees were socially engineered and lost their passwords. Training, user awareness, etc... all apply here

All too often we cover vulnerabilities in web browsers, Flash, Java and the like. Securing this technology leads to user unhappiness, such as what if I were to reset a virtual system hosting a web browser each time you used it?
