I don't buy for one single millisecond that this wasn't caused by a breach, and frankly I'm infuriated that support is lying to customers about it. The link does not lead to a PayPal website. That's just a blatant, flat-out lie from support. According to whois.com, the linked website (paypa.cn) is registered under the name of a Chinese company with a random gibberish email ([redacted]). The official paypal.cn website is registered with a paypal.com email. The link is always a "paypa.cn/withdraw" link, even if the transaction you're looking at is a payment sent instead of received. That makes no sense. You can't withdraw money that has been sent. As another user has pointed out, this is not a "cosmetic issue". This isn't a browser glitch causing some page elements to display incorrectly. A link to an unknown Chinese website claiming to be an official PayPal website is being injected onto every single transaction page. This is serious [redacted] and I cannot believe that support has the audacity to outright lie to people who are concerned about this. As of today (2022-10-05) PayPal phone support cannot be contacted, and neither can messaging/text support. What is going on??? It seems to me like all support has been taken offline because they know something extremely serious has happened and they're in emergency mode trying to coordinate their PR response.
