    I also got hacked two days ago. Someone used my paypal account to subscribe to a monthly service. Its $59 a month. I am not usually checking my paypal but good thing I had to check yesterday to transfer money to my bank and I found out the subscription I am paying which I didn’t know. Right away I sent a dispute to paypal and also emailed the company where I said I was subscribing. I cancelled my subscription right away and still waiting If I could get a refund.

    So I changed my password now in Paypal and checked other security settings. I think Paypal should add more security feature when sending funds. Like in EON, a transaction password which is different from the password should be entered before a transfer pass thru.

    Glad to know that it has been resolved.

    Sir Abe, after the dust settles down on this and after you find out how exactly the hacker got your account, maybe you could provide us some tips on how we can really secure our online accounts.

    For starters, I’m already done with the 2 step verification with Google, any thing else we should look into? :)

    thanks in advance :)

    It’s good thing they have @AskPayPal! Mas mabilis ang response compared to filing a dispute sa account mo.

    This happened to me last May 10. I was surprised when I saw 4 payments that were made which I didn’t authorize. The amount involved is very big and I immediately called PayPal to report. Here are some emails that I found during the hacking incident.

    yahseen****@****.***
    online****@****.***
    net.progr****@****.***
    fuz****@****.***
    moneymaki****@****.***

    Here’s a tip. If you’re linking your bank account in your PayPal account. Make sure you’re the only one who knows the full account number. This is maybe how Yuga got hacked because your account numbers are visible on your website.

    so relieved you got your account and money back. I even tweeted @askpaypal to make sure they worked on it.

    @Jun yeah that’s what I think too, but I hope that’s not the case.

    Congrats for getting your account and funds back.

    Great that resolved ultimately. But you are a big influence in the Phil. Tech industry. What if the same thing happens to us lowly souls?

    still this is scarry.. i think they consider your appeal coz they find out that your a famous blogger and it will have greater impact on users here and abroad.. so for all paypal user.. dont let a big amount of money to your paypal account.. always withdraw your money and left a little.. just a precautionary measure..
