16 Million PayPal Accounts Allegedly for Sale on the Dark Web
Imagine waking up to find your PayPal login—and maybe even your bank-linked credentials—being traded on a hacker forum. That’s the reality making headlines right now.
While PayPal hasn’t confirmed a breach, cybersecurity experts warn that info-stealing malware might be behind the leak of 15.8 million accounts, including emails and plaintext passwords.
What should you do if you use PayPal?
1. Reset your password (especially if reused)
2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
3. Stay cautious of phishing attempts
Financial safety online is no longer optional—it’s survival.
Do you use MFA for your PayPal or banking apps, or do you think it’s too much hassle?
