Well even you change you password every time but if u log in PP account with Phishing link hacker will hack your account within some min time they are online 24 hours day so better take precision and don't click any link we get though Email or from other peoples.Quote:

Yes I agree with the statement that Paypal is not Secure too... Because I have seen a lot of reports that the Paypal account got hacked, but Being conscious about the Security about your account would personally help you to avoid get hacked...
Even if Paypal account gets hacked you cannot say all Paypal accounts is not safe as only sometimes these hackings will happen in Paypal as i still believe Paypal has strong security systemsQuote:

I too Believe in the strong security systems of Paypal but I have said that There could be a Chance of Paypal account being hacked because I have seen in a Video of Youtube, saying How to Hack the Paypal account???, That's the reason why I said that that Still the Risk is Associated with it....Quote:

well i have never heard about paypal account being hacked. anyways that is good that my account is safe. just use a secure and a difficult password this might protect yor account from cheaters.
Well if you become a victim of phishing then those strong passwords would not help you out too.Quote:

Well i saw some of the videos and they are added in 2008. So it's obvious that paypal has come up with a cure for it.
Update : I just went in to the root of this youtube matter and look what I found out :

well,hacker is a big problem in the every area of the internet.and if paypal keep update and strong the protect of protecting ,i think it will be more secure though there are strong hack.
yes. for the safty purpose.both paypal and we users need to pay more attention and do efforts to secure it. but i guess people may think paypal have multiple reasons to freeze member's account also not security.
Some peoples currently don't like to use paypal for the reason that paypal have the rights to freeze any account that they suspect. So, if we put a lot of money in paypal, and one day paypal suspect any transaction and limit our account, then we are in big troubles.Quote:

They take lot of time to activate that account again.If they freeze any account plus it is a tedious job to reactivate the account or to lift the ban.
If a paypal account being limited, it is almost impossible for the account owner to get back their account, as he/she already been recorded back list in the system. Normally in this case, member will just open another new account with paypal.Quote:
