| Paypal Compromised I have heard an unconfirmed rumour that credit card numbers kept by Paypal may have been accessed by criminals. People who have credit card details kept by Paypal may be advised to check their monthly statements.

| Paypal is really difficult to deal with - constantly they send you e-mails and make nothing but trouble.

Had 1500 taken from my bank account through Paypal, in the name of a company on the east cost by someone in the far east. The company knew who it was and wouldn't tell me because it required a subpoena to do so. Police won't even start a case unless the theft reaches a certain level (has to be in the tens of thousands of dollars) so protect yourself -- don't tie PayPal to your personal bank account. And if you link it to your credit card, check that sucker at least once a month to make sure you haven't been billed for more hosting services than you were aware of.
