A PayPal Phish Story?

Tags » Checking Accounts, PayPal

John Darling reports for the Medford, OR Mail Tribune on one woman's recent experience with having her checking account nearly emptied after someone apparently took over her PayPal account. She was "made whole" through the efforts of PayPal and her bank - but the experience was difficult nonetheless.

Darling reports on comments from a PayPal spokesperson suggesting a phishing attack as the likely cause - but also reminds online users to use passwords which can't easily be guessed and that contain enough randomness to make them impossible to figure out.
