Cyber Crimes

Thought I should share this with you all, because I was victim to this crime. About three weeks ago my PayPal account got hacked, they had access to my debit and credit card account and basically cleared my funds. I was graceful that PayPal had contact me asking about my recent activity and they gave me full refund, and prompt me for better security measures.
