    You must be a victim of Paypal Phising e-mail!
    Be careful of them

    And more.

    bruteforce for paypal? you must have a dirty mind!

    basically it must be keylogging/same passwords on other sites, and lemme guess, this 'arabian' (you know him very well) of sorts gave you an .exe file, which you started by turning your antivirus off :)

    Brute Forcing will not work for paypal as a sure. so you just have to make sure u dont have any logger in your pc & u dont touch any phishing email.

    If you're sure you weren't phished, you must have an undetectable trojan/keylogger in your computer. Download keyscrambler plug-in for firefox.


    There is only 4 ways to get a paypal account.

    -Phishing
    -Keylogger
    -Social Enginering
    -Guessing

    Brute force :confused: are you kidding, it will never work with Paypal.

    Regarding the original query ... better call Paypal with your problem to get their immediate attention on this issue.

    sure you will get your money back after 15 to 20 days depending on how much time paypal staff take to review your case..... but you sure will get your money back since paypal can see that you didnt made those transactions.... so just open a dispute first and then email paypal that someone hacked your computer and paypal... and also format your PC to make sure there is no keyloggers and remort trojans... and then change the password of your paypal and login emails and secret question and answers etc.etc...

    Download keyscrambler for firefox, I'm telling you that you might have a private keylogger installed.
