[QUOTE="509322, post: 709589"] I'm not commenting here regarding security of PayPal or any other service. Just a general comment. And then a jab at PayPal's practice of info grabbing. Sensitive data, like credit card infos, should never be stored on a web server. But these infos manage to get stored in web server cache and log files due to misconfiguration. Server misconfiguration is the highway in and the info jackpot. PS - PayPal is an info grabber. Ever notice if that you use their service once as a Guest, without creating a permanent account, they retain all your infos and have all of it, including your credit card infos the next time you use their Guest service... did you notice that ?
