I read somewhere that if you're paypal password was the same as the password for LimeCrime, the hackers were accessing people's accounts that way.
Hmmm.. I use my fiancés paypal and we have the same pw and he recently received two emails that someone with an IP address in Russia was trying to access his account. Wth? Not saying it's linked but we've never had that type of issue before. And the email clearly said that whoever was trying to log in, knew our pw.

I changed my PP password just to be safe. But i tried deleting one of my CCs off of PP, and it said i couldn't delete that card until all transactions had finished going thru. Um, i don't use that card. Now I'm worried! :unsure:

Luckily, my LC and PP passwords weren't at all the same, but I changed my PP password anyway, just to be safe.

Contact the bank associated with that card and see if any pending charges show. Or ask if you can proactively cancel that card and be issued a new one.

I'm wondering if it's because I have my BO lipliners awaiting charge on it? But that's just thru the card and not thru PP, or would they know that anyway?

Honestly I would call paypal about that. It is happening to me as well except the card has already been canceled and it still won't let me remove it. I hadn't used paypal to pay for anything recently either. I haven't contacted them about it yet but I think I will if it still won't remove in a couple days.

Yeah i haven't used a CC thru PP to this day. Only money that's in my PP account. I don't even remember adding the card that i wanna delete. I'll give them a call in a couple days. Hopefully it's just thenfact that it's waitimg to charge my lipliners theu MAC, and that those will be back in stock soon and i can delete that card asap! Fucking LimeCrime! :mad:

I'm not sure if PP knows when a card on file has pending charges. You can try contacting them to be sure nothing is going on that they are aware of. If they can't give you an answer as to why you can't remove the card then definitely contact the bank. Do you have that particular card listed as the primary card on your PP? I wonder if maybe that could stop you from deleting it.

Nope, it's not the primary.

I don't know much about IT, and hindsight is 20/20, but I think they could have disabled the site and placed the same updates they posted to IG on the actual site. They have really stepped in it with this one and I feel sorry for those affected.

Jeez. I'm worried because the same day I got the email about this from LC, I got a call from my cc fraud department and the card was being used. The scariest is that I USED PAYPAL FOR MY LC PURCHASES! So I thought this was supposedly not affecting PayPal! Now I'm really concerned. Is this coincidence or is PP info really not safe?
