A person from Russia wants to send me money. He asked for my PP address. Is it ever unsafe to give it?

The only way a person can send you money through the PayPal System is to have your email address.

 

It's totally up to you who you give that address to.   How well to you know this person is the question you need to ask yourself.

I don't know the person at all. Question is...can someone crack my PP account because they have that info?

Depends on how weak your password is.

 

You should have a mix of Upper Case, Lower Case, Numbers and Special Characters, minimum of12 Characters is a good rule of thumb.
