Hello @Ashj17,
Thanks for stopping by the Community!
I understand you'd like to learn more about PayPal's Security. One of PayPal's highest priorities is to protect your privacy. If someone were to ever log into your PayPal account, the only thing they would be able to see is the last four digits of any payment method. They wouldn't have the ability to see any of your full banking details. In addition, we do not share your payment details with merchants. If you'd like to add an extra layer of security to your PayPal account, I recommend setting up 2-Step Verification.
I hope this helps!

Hey @Jcolinares14,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the PayPal Community Forum.
If you have an unauthorized payment on your PayPal account, you can open up a case for this.
For steps on how to do this, see: How do I report potential fraud, spoof or unauthorized transactions to PayPal?
I hope this helps.
