PayPal HTF?
So it seems that someone got my PayPal password. I'm asking for your guys' advice because I'm actually pretty stumped on how it was stolen. I'd never fall for a phishing site or email and even If I would, I simply haven't gotten any phishing emails so I've ruled that out. The only thing I know is, I bought something with "Buy It Now" on ebay last night around 11pm. I payed it with PayPal and went to bed. This morning I found that someone had sent themselves a nice amount of money from my PayPal account. The last time I used PayPal before that was a couple weeks ago so I can only assume that this is related to last night's purchase...somehow. I thought maybe I had a trojan or something - which seems unlikely since I use Firefox and I never really download any apps or appZ But I did a full scan with Mcafee and AVG and they found nothing. I NOW have Sunbelt Firewall running and its not detecting any weird outgoing connections. Lastly, my PayPal password was unique and impossible to be guessed and pretty hard to brute-force. I checked if my local DNS had been modified - it doesn't seem to be and I can ping paypal at their real IP.
Any ideas? I'm pretty perplexed! Unless it's that guy with the binoculars across the street....
