Sat in the barbers today waiting my turn and got a text message.

It was not in english, so I copied it into google translate and it was Italian, an eBay 1 time code for 2 factor authentication!

Then my phone had loads of them:

Changed my password and they stopped. So does this mean they actually had my password?

Quite scary. Changed some other passwords as well.
