Today I had my paypal account hacked by someone in china, who sent some spoof email address approximately $160 in british pounds. Three separate transactions.

I'm just glad I caught it before he could have stolen more. Paypal limited my account after noticing the bizarre transactions, and probably prevented more money from being taken from me. I've already done the necessary steps (disputed the transactions, to hopefully get my money back), changed my password (on multiple sites), added two step authorization (so that I have to have my phone to use my paypal account) and updated my security questions.


Hope I can get my money back... $160 is a rather substantial sum of money to me right now and to have that be lost to some ... (insert colorful word here) in china...

Well. You get the idea.

Stay safe and secure guys.
