[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 709655"] It's true that PayPal is secure in the sense of breaches to their own network, that's evident in my opinion. In reality, if an attacker was phoning a service like PayPal as an attempt to hijack access to your account, they'll have already gathered basic sensitive information such as your full name, e-mail address, phone number, potentially your address as well and if they are lucky, some digits from your debit/credit card if you exposed it in an online photo or similar. They can also change the Caller ID to your own phone number effortlessly and then it'll show as being the number linked to your PayPal account which is phoning them. That would be your mistake as well, for having such sensitive information out there and accessible to the bad guys. Keep privacy settings enabled at all times, even when you have them enabled you must be careful of what data is publicly accessible to even those you know. [/QUOTE]
