    Has anyone seen this at PayPal today? I have had the same shortcut/favorite to my PayPal account for years and just now started getting this. Any ideas?

    Maybe you tried signing into a phished version. Or maybe you attempted to sign in after an uninstallation of Firefox or something.

    O.K. I took a little heat the last time I started a thread about Google being down and held my tongue . . . :p

    This time I would just like everyone to know that I am a VERY technical person, I work for IBM and am familiar with phishing sites and all the other obvious shit that happens to your normal user. :eek: Since I posted this, the issue is no longer and issue but still am curious if anyone has seen it? My guess would be a minor PayPal hack but who knows . . .

    Thanks

    Hey! That one is serious!

    Someone is trying to poison your PC. Do not log in to your important accounts...

    Are you a part of a network connection? Check if the other PC's are hacked or if any of them has spywares installed in them.

    Not sure why nobody is taking this seriously, including the idiots at PayPal. I have opened a HIGH severity ticket and am waiting for their response.

    Just some friendly advice, DO NOT ACCEPT THAT CERTIFICATE.

    I cancel it and am able to do what I need to do in there.

    Will keep everyone posted.

    Not that apparently anyone gives a rats ass . . . :D . . . but it was interesting logging into my PayPal account this morning. I had converted to their newer home page 'look' about a month ago but today was back to the original look logon page. Logged on and no prompt for acceptance for a doubleclcik.net certificate.

    Also at the bottom of that page after logging on was this message: "We will be performing maintenance on the PayPal site between 2:00 AM EDT to 4:00 AM EDT. The site may be unavailable during that time. Thank you for your patience."

    While I have received nothing official from them yet, I suspect that anyone else having this issue may have done the same as me and tried their new home page look.

    When and if I hear something official I'll let ya know . . .

    O.K. I received this email from PayPal and have not seen the issue since.

    Has anyone else noticed the issue disappears now that you are back to the old home page design?
