Hey Guys,
Just to give you a bit of background, a couple of days ago I got a delightful email stating that I'd just sent a payment of £600 to some random woman via PayPal. Hmm, definitely didn't send that. Logged into my paypal and sure enough seconds previously the money had gone off my credit card to a random email.
Turns out someone had decided to use my paypal account to pay for an eBay purchase. On contacting the email address turns out the seller was innocent. Someone had arrived on her doorstep to collect in person, claiming to be me, even using my name!
Luckily the seller asked for ID and the criminal (who alarmingly was a young boy) couldn't prove they were me.
So after that back ground, my question to you knowledgeable folk is how the hell did they get my PayPal password?!
I'm typing on a MacBook Pro and feeling less safe than I ever have done. Is there any chance someone's installed a keylogger? Has anyone else suffered a paypal hack?
Cheers for any info/recommendations guys, it's much appreciated.
Thanks
