Has eBay been hacked again?

Has eBay been hacked again as got a confirmation email regarding a recent purchase & the profile picture beside the senders name, which said eBay, was of a naked woman? ! Not something I would think eBay would use?

Nope, your device has a virus on it.

Try signinig into your account on a different device and the icons should be back to normal.

Get the device you're seeing the topless woman on checked for malaware before you use it again, and if you've recently taken any surveys on facebook or similar, don't - the most common source of this virus seems to be a free gift voucher offer on social media sites.

Thanks. Have scanned my device & there seems to be no viruses. However it appears to be a problem that eBay are having as others are getting it too (google news has articles re this problem).

New one on me as I do not see profile pics in eMails on any of my devices but then they are set to block email content other than text
