/t5/About-Settings/TLS-1-2-and-HTTP-1-1-Security-upgrades-help/m-p/1391511#M38862   You can check out this forum that posted about the same situation. There are quite a few replies and one of the people said they contacted Paypal and confirmed that the email did not come from Paypal themselves, so I guess it is a scamming attempt after all. ...

I used a different, brand new device to click on the link and check it out, and it linked to a https site of paypal, which according to what I read on Paypal, HTTPS are secured site which should be their official site. But I could be wrong. I also tried to google "Merchant Security Roadmap Paypal" And got some similar results But since another person in the thread said they already called and confirmed with Paypal, I will listen to them and scratch this off as a scamming attempt since if it's really an important thing, all my friends should have gotten the same email, not just a selected few individuals here in this forum. (Also another thing to note, the email doesn't seem to have Paypal avatar and phone number like all other email Paypal uses to notify me of my transaction, that was one of the redflag alright) To be safe I just went ahead and update my password on my email and Paypal account. ...

I took a look at the URL included in the email and it seemed to link back to Paypal main site (HTTPS) so I can't imagine those links are fake too. Some googles later also showed me Paypal are doing these security changes? So I'm not sure either. I'm in the same board, very confused. I posted a topic about this just now too. Hopefully someone with the knowledge can answer it. ... View more

Hello, I received an email from paypal reminding me that I need to complete some important security upgrades. Specifically, the email asks me to do "TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 Upgrade." The consequence of unable to do this by a specific date is that I won't be able to accept payment from my Paypal anymore. But as I read through everything and even tried to google, it seems like I only need to do this upgrade if I own a website that use Paypal as payment portal? (All the terms sound very technical, I couldn't quite understand everything) I do not have any website and my Paypal is a personal Paypal, not a business one. I just want to confirm if this email really is addressing me and if I need to do any update to my account. Thank you. ... View more
