The simplest solution is don't store your credit card info on PayPal anymore. It's a little extra work but you can enter that info every time you use the account.

Don't use the same password for email and other accounts, especially anything financial.

Do a boot log virus scan. Run Malwarebytes (trial copy).

Install an app like WOT in your browser to see if web sites present any danger before you go there.

Make sure you have a firewall, either in Windows, or in your virus protection program.

I do not even a Pay Pal Account and I got an email saying someone charged some Lingerie on my Account The email showed up on Hotmail and it had a lot of addresses similar to my address. I think maybe they hit it by luck. I contacted Pay Pal and sent them the email and said they were working on this Scam. This has been going on for a while whoever is involved.
