PayPal Hacked - help
Hi folks,
With a lack of a "things that shit me thread".. I thought I'd post this here. I've just noticed that during the night my PayPal account has been hacked, and money sent to someone in China :-( Fark! To make matters worse the payment method used was an old Westrac credit card that I've cancelled and destroyed? Not even sure how the payment was made from that card, but it seems that even though id cancelled the card with westpac - and cut it up - Westpac don't actually stop payments from coming out! I've changed my passwords and will run some software to check for loggers etc today. I also called my bank and froze my accounts (to make sure no more cash can be taken from my other accounts). Just after the money was sent I received an email in Chinese/Korean from the same address that the money went to, I'll get it translated today. Anyone else had experiences like this? Fcuking sucks! Hate the feeling that my cash isn't safe. :-(

I had the same problem I was furious try calling pay pal Australia, they might be able to help. Unless it was over 1500 dollars cops will do fuck all, I was spewing, nothing worse mate, not much more I can say as we never saw ours again. Best of luck and sorry to hear this

Surely if you cancelled your card with Westpac, they would be responsible?

You are 100% covered, Paypal are fantastic at sorting this out.
I'd also go off my head at my bank if a cancelled card can still be drawn from.

Yeah i couldn't understand why, but thats what they told me.. even tho its cancelled if any charges happen they can't stop it...
What i might do is file a lost/stolen thing with them, then they will have to change the card details and i just won't activate the new card.
