Yeah, I'm well-aware of this. I had some Russian hackers make two purchases via my PayPal and they charged $94.19 TWICE, in Russian Rubles, to my bank... and PayPal not only refused my refund once, but twice, stating "Nah, it was you fam." I even explained both times that it was in a Russian currency, and that got me nowhere, so I took it up with my bank, and they're currently still disputing it against PayPal. I just have to wait and see what the outcome is. I'm REALLY hoping they don't make me eat that $188.38, or I'll be hella pissed. I don't even know how the hackers are able to charge my PayPal for things, when I've never shared my password I've never sold or given away any electronics with my account logged in, I've never had anything lost or stolen from me, and I have two-factor authentication turned on. I have zero notifications of login attempts either, so I'm absolutely floored that PayPal has the audacity to say those fraudulent charges were caused by me. So I just have to stop using PayPal since their security and support are a fucking joke. Even changing my password didn't seem to do jack shit, because even my new debit card on there was compromised. All I can think is maybe there was a data breach, and my shit was in it. And I loved using PayPal, so it really pains me to say this, but...PayPal and its support are an absolute blazing tire trash fire, so I'm all for competition! I hope it does well.
Sounds like someone gained remote access to your PC and used it to access your (presumably already logged in on that PC) PayPal account.Yeah, I'm well-aware of this.
