Safety of phone apps paying to Paypal?

Hello everyone.  I sometimes see ads of phone apps, like games and surveys that pay to Paypal.  I've thought about it for occasional use, but not necessarily a "Major Money Making Opportunity".  However, here is my concern.  My Paypal account is linked to my bank account (requirement I think).  If the owner of a fake or disreputable app hacks into my Paypal account through the app, they automatically now have access to my banking account, emptying the account because it is connected.    Has anyone seen or heard of any type of issue similar to this, or am I just being paranoid?  Thanks for the (hopefully serious) input.  Bob  🤔
