Sorry if my title was too objective. I don't know how to mention this. Yesterday, some of my other products was stolen from somebody who just pay only 0.01 for my killer products via Paypal. Seems that they can change the value of my product price. I think, Paypal have a big mistake here. I have use one of the most famous security of payment gateway, Warrior Download. So, which one that I need to contact now? The owner of Warrior Download or Paypal? I'm still new for this payment processing problem. I really need your advice, guys.
contact paypal immediately to let them know and ask them to analyze the links you are using. Paypal is good security wise
i've noticed that you can generally change the price by altering the html code, then bringing the file up in your browser. it's so simple it's stupid. you can buy anything you want through paypal for a penny. i've never done this though, i'm not a thief.
Good security? Are you sure? I asked some experts and they said that my paypal button was hacked by somebody. I have encrypted my paypal button before, but I still keep wondering how they can change my paypal button? Start now, I can't automate my "cash machine". I need to give my product manually to my client. How sad.
If they can even change the value of the encrypted paypal button. Send them a email right away and let them know. It probably was cracked, and there is hack floating around in the "dark corners" of the net.
As long as you encrypt the buy now button, it should prevent anyone from changing the price. Also as long as you take some simple steps not to fulfill each other automatically, you can weed away any such hacks or changes in the order form as you can easily reject transactions which does not look right. It is not Paypal's fault that you got into this mess as the precaution are out there and it depends on whether you want to enable it or not.
I have encrypted my paypal button. But why they still can hack it? Do you think I need to change my payment gateway?
i agree with eddy, you need to upgrade your account ot business account because business account dont show the paypal email on top. because if someone know your paypal email, then they can use a cracker to crack the password.. it dont need to send a fake login to you or email.... all they have to do is get the email.. but business account email is easy to get if the button is not encrypted.... so these are the two steps that stop a cracker from cracking your paypal account... also always check the paypal URL on your browser before you login... and dont download any photo from any girls... as now a days i have seen that many people are keylogged by photo... it is so easy... there are binders that bind a virus with a picture.. and when you open the picture thinking its a hot girl, you get keylogged... and once you get keylogged you know what happens.... so keep my advice in mind...and i guarentee you, you will be safe... but i cannot guarantee you about paypal as paypal love limiting accounts now a days lololol....
If your PP button was hacked even it was encrypted, please contact PayPal urgently because the hacker can do it to all other paypal buttons.
they are losers who have nothing better to do but causing trouble and pain around... they are some useless peoples who cant get a job and so they sit on the computer 24/7 to do bad things to peoples...
best thing to do is use a paypal merchant account for accepting payments. it doesn't matter whether or not the seller is able to prevent this type of theft through simple encryption/security measures, no online payment processor worth a dime would allow their service to be so easily superceded, or even allow anything to go live that can be defeated by someone with a browser and notepad. summary: paypal sucks.
Ok, report send to Paypal. Will update this thread later. Anybody who have recommended payment security (software/script), please share it here, so all of us can get the better solution for it. Thanks to all of your opinion.
