eBay Accounts Compromised

PayPal:

Later today, eBay Inc. will be asking all eBay users to change their passwords due to a cyber attack that compromised an eBay database containing encrypted eBay passwords and other non-financial information. eBay will notify its user base directly within the next 24 hours with more details.

Seems like weird phrasing, “later today”. Why wait?
