#paypal access

So my Paypal account was hacked at exactly 10:01am this morning. In the many years that I have been doing online transactions, I've gotten used to frauds and hacks but this one from Paypal (Unauthorized Transaction) is the biggest so far. Just woken up before 10am this morning and was checking the blog when I received an email alert from Paypal (thanks to the GMail pop-up alert plugin). Realizing that someone tried to submit a "Forgot Password" request, I went to Paypal and logged in. First came to mind was one of the email accounts attached to my Paypal account was hacked and used to reset the password. Knowing that my GMail is still working (and is my primary Paypal account), I hurriedly went and did another password reset. The first thing I did was remove all the other email accounts linked to Paypal so the hacker can't request another password change. Around 30 to 45 minutes later, I received an email from Paypal stating the transaction is valid.
