re: Anyone ever have their PayPal account hijacked?

I've gotten a few of those also. They mass mail an alert to as many email addresses as possible. The email has a link to a bogus web site (for paypal, any bank, or credit company, etc.) If you follow their link, it routes you to a fake site and when you "login", they have your password.

Short story ... don't click their link, use your own path to the real address.
