    when you receive the email from paypal . There must be a option that if you didn't make a change please click here or contact us @ .... Just do that thing . write them a email saying that some one has hacked your ID . and is changing everything etc etc . They will help you then . Be Quick but before he empties your account .

    Glad to see you are safe. Paypal has been working hard against fraud and made a huge invest protecting account holder recently.

    Dude,

    I think your need check back on your end security point ( i mean your desktop, laptop) please check if there any keylogger, trojan, malware that can lead to the incident

    cheers

    You are absolutely correct as prevention is always better than cure. OP would do well to zero in on the cause of this mishap and initiate necessary safe guards to prevent it from happening again in future!
    An account known to be vulnerable, is bound to be attacked once again! :(

    Regards,
