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:
