I got a very surprising email a couple of days ago. It turns out I've become a PayPal user, and that PayPal have their webservers on a 6 kB/s upload speed DSL line in Turkey!

I only got to finish step one in the mail, after logging in with a password I guessed and entered all personal information, all I got was "thank you" and nothing more. I tried to go to paypal.com again and log in, but then it didn't work anymore - it seems like it only works from (WARNING - SCAM SITE) http://81.215.209.25/verify/login.htm

Could all of you try logging in on that server with many different non-existing email addresses and passwords and see if some of them don't work? Preferably do this a couple of hundred times, just to be sure.
