A hacker accessed my email account and also my account at an online writing site. This occurred on or before last Tuesday, but I didn't learn about it until last night. On the writing site, the individual changed all of my info to his/her info, including Paypal addresses. What this came to mean was the pay I should have received yesterday was diverted to the hacker's Paypal account instead of being sent to mine.
I contacted the online writing company, but also believe Paypal should know the individual is using Paypal for illegal purposes- stealing money.
