paypal/ boards hacked

the watchman · 2010-03-05 01:00:33

Hi all, Can someone tell me when Boards.ie was hacked. Was it before or after 16th Jan 2010. Why I ask is that I just went to my paypal account and it says it was last accessed 16th Jan 2010???. I'm sure I last accessed it more like 9 months ago. I only ever used it once on Ebay last year. No money was taken, everything…

No money was taken, everything was in order but very strange.
My password on paypal is different to my password on Boards but registered email on both is the same.
Any thoughts on this please.
Thank you in advance.

Given that even if you paid your boards subscriber account via paypal boards still doesn't have your paypal password I don't see how anything on boards could have affected your paypal account.

Given you said you use a different password this rules it even more unlikely
