I logged into my Paypal. I clicked the Menu Bar and instead of my name & picture, it had someone elses name and picture that I have never seen before. I reviewed my activities. Nothing was different. When I clicked the Menu bar again, my name & picture were back. Does this mean I was hacked?

Hi @kaymiller9186,

 

That's definitely strange! I haven't heard of this happening. I would follow Drew's suggestion to change your password and security questions from a safe computer for extra security, and also maybe run a virus scan on the device where this occurred.

 

Stay safe!

Hi @kaymiller9186

 

Sorry if this situation has caused confusion! 

 

Was this a public computer you were using. If so, it's possible that the stored cache on the browser has caused this issue. If it's a personal computer, everything would be fine. 🙂 The most you'd need to do if you are concerned is update your password and security questions to resecure your account. 

 

Thanks, 

Drew
