Hi All,

Someone hacked my PayPal account with  dbhc429615. He changed my password and removed my account limit. I found it at noon and reported to security team. Paypal security team fix my account.

But, I don't know how this guy hacked to my account. Did you get this issue at PayPal?

Thanks,

Mark

Did you click on any links in emails that were 'supposed' to be from paypal and entered any account info?

Have you run an antivirus and antimalware scan on your computer?

Have you left your computer or phone anywhere with a saved password on it for paypal?

Thanks for the advices, I will check it. This guy's email ISP is China Telecom in Beijing. He hacked into my account in Maryland, US at 5:05 am 07/15/2021. He may leave his phone number at my account as Paypal told me ... Do we have a way to get this guy's more info or need to report the issue to some Depts such as FBI who may be interested at it?
