Do not trust Paypals 2 factor authentication.
I had that happen to my paypal account about three years ago. First time they got access to my email, which allowed the hijacking of paypal They sent money to someone in Africa somewhere(I forget the country)
Paypal said it was "normal" activity....
Had to get the bank to reverse it, except for some reason they had to let the fraudulent transaction complete first.. WTF!!
Changed all passwords, moved Paypal to a different email. Setup 2 factor.
Two weeks later, same thing, except they deleted the emails about paypal off the server so I didn't get them. That super safe 2 factor authentication? They sent a text asking if we really wanted to send money to Mozambique or wherever it was. AT 3 AM.... and after they didn't hear back for a couple hours they let it go through with out approval.
2 factor authentication is worthless when it's done the way Paypal does it.
