My paypal account been hacked by someone?

Today when log in to my paypal account, paypal FLAG my account with “limited account access”. As per normal when this happen paypal will ask me to provide my proof of utility bills, change my password and change of my secret question.The reason why paypal limited my account is because of my account already been accessed by third party.

We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party.
We have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features in case your
account has been accessed by an unauthorized third party. We understand
that having limited access can be an inconvenience, but protecting your
account is our primary concern.

To see what actually happened ,I take an initiative to re-scren back all my account activity and noticed that unauthorized transaction happened on April 9 2008. This payment was sent to Melvin Britto(believes this is the person that hack my account) with email nilesh.pandey75@rediffmail.com. Luckily only 10 bucks left in my account since I’ve already withdraw all my fund into my al-Rajhi Debit Card on April 8 with total completed transfer of USD1683.12.

Wonder how this sh*t can login to my paypal account I make a necessary action to checked my main paypal e-mail and noticed something strange happened. I was using yahoo as my main paypal account and during screening my e-mail noticed that all my thrash mail already been empty. As I’m remember i never empty my thrash folder. I’m also noticed that paypal transaction to above mention account not in my mail. Normally after transaction completed, paypal will sent a notification mail regarding that transaction.

Believes that hacker got my paypal password from my main e-mail account. Yahoo mail security and hacking technique already been discussed in major main underground forum. As far as i know the technique is quite simple, for those has medium level in server/computer hacking method they can implement that technique easily.

I dont know how easy is but maybe we can discuss here in comment below…

My Two Cents

With immediate effect all my main account/password for internet transaction will be change periodically in 2 weeks rotation time and suggest to all internet marketer out there to do so. Working online in front of computer also has their own risk and we must take necessary action to reduce this risk. Always used trusted anti-virus software that can detect and remove any trojan/malware/keyloggers. Ive order new Shield

with the most effective protection against malicious programs [viruses, spyware, adware, Trojans, etc]. The product is simple to install and set up, while offering advanced users a range of versatile settings for fine-tuning the program. Instant $10 Online Rebate!

Finally always check your paypal/bank/cpanel/mail/affiliates account and find if there any strange happened. Failed to do so you will lost a lot in this business.
