128 million are urged to change their password NOW after hackers access personal details

Attack made between February and March and affects 128 million users

Hackers infiltrated the corporate network after stealing employee logins

This gave hackers access to eBay customers' name, encrypted password, email address, physical address, phone number and date of birth

Firm said there is no evidence to suggest PayPal accounts were affected

But security experts are warning hackers could still use personal details to commit identity fraud - even after the password has been changed
