Thank God! Not me till today.

I never log in to my account through any means of links from mail or any where else. Thats the reason i m safe. But i do get so many mails trying to hack my account. It just appears to be true.

Hackers send you mails saying something like "your account is been acessed by third party log in here to change your email" and what not so many things.
And the page they take you to is exactly as that of paypal so you never know.

Best thing to keep yourself safe is never log in to your account through any links and every time use the extension https:// before the actual address.

So far my account is still safe. I begin using Paypal since July last year and no problem until now. I believe those people who has their account getting hacked is because of their own negligence like having their PCs infected with Trojan horse that can steal password or login to their account using unsolicited email (phishing).
