Has Paypal itself been hacked again?

My Citi Mastercard number (my long-time Paypal preferred card) was stolen over the weekend. I closed the card and entered my Chase Visa card on Paypal as the new preferred card. In less than 24 hours, my Visa number was stolen and used for multiple transactions. The only commonality at all is Paypal, and my wallet has RFID protection. Happen to anyone else? Feels like a breach of my account details. I called Paypal; rep was unhelpful. I saw online that Paypal was breached in December. Thanks.

Hello @mberry219,
Welcome to our community help forum and thanks for posting here!
I am sorry to hear about the unauthorized transactions in your account and it's understandable to get worried. No need to worry! We offer full protection for confirmed unauthorized transactions. Make sure to check your billing agreement payment as this charge could be from a service you signed up for in the past.
You can check the steps on how you can report the unauthorized activity in the resolution center of your PayPal account here : How do I report unauthorized PayPal account activity
Once you report the transaction, we will review and update you via email by 10 business days. More information about reporting the fraud or unauthorized activity can be found here.
I hope this information helps!
