I had the same thing but I gave them my social security and my mothers maiden name.

Your date of birth is not likely too difficult to get from some public records and email address can be discovered. Other than attempting to access your PayPal account, there isn't a lot to worry about. I assume your old email address is still with PayPal, so you just need to be extra vigilant for other messages. NEVER repond to any alerts from PayPal. Always log on to your PayPal account on a computer to check for alerts.
