hack paypal frNumerous users of TeamViewer, a popular remote access and meeting software, have reported their computers were remotely hijacked and PayPal and EBay accounts subsequently drained. Additionally, many users shared on Reddit that they actually witnessed the takeover. Other intruder activities that were observed included installing software and malware, making rogue purchases online and entering online accounts using auto-filled password keychains. Many of these reports occurred while TeamViewer’s systems were experiencing technical difficulties and fell offline. TeamViewer later claimed these difficulties were related to a non-DDoS attack. TeamViewer reached out to their users via Twitter on June 7: Recommended for You Webcast, September 7th: 3 Ways to Speed Up Your Marketing Review and Approval Process image: http://cdn2.business2community.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/TeamViewer-Tweet-Image-300x259.png.png TeamViewer Tweet Image TeamViewer denies it has been hacked. Instead, they blame users’ poor privacy habits, stating many are likely reusing password across multiple platforms. However, users fiercely dispute their claims — stating they’ve never reused passwords and even that their TeamViewer PINs were utilized in the takeover. It is still unclear exactly how this widespread security incident occurred. But with more than 1 billion user IDs, the TeamViewer hack has the potential to be quite widespread. By 2010, PayPal had over 100 million active user accounts in 190 markets through 25 different currencies.[34] In July 2011, fourteen alleged members of the Anonymous hacktivist group were charged with attempting to disrupt PayPal's operations. The denial of service attacks occurred in December 2010, after PayPal stopped processing donations to Wikileaks. On December 5, 2013, 13 of the PayPal 14 pleaded guilty to misdemeanor and felony charges related to the attacks.[35][36] The company continued to focus on international growth and growth of its Merchant Services division, providing e-payments for retailers on eBay. In 2011, PayPal announced that it would begin moving its business offline so that customers can make payments via PayPal in stores.[37] In August 2012, the company announced its partnership with Discover Card to allow PayPal payments to be made at any of the 7 million stores in Discover Card's network.[38] By the end of 2012, PayPal's total payment volume processed was US$145,000,000,000.[39] and accounted for 40% of eBay's revenue, amounting to US$1,370,000,000 in the 3rd quarter of 2012.[40] In 2013, PayPal acquired IronPearl, a Palo Alto startup offering engagement software,[41] and Braintree, a Chicago-based payment gateway, to further product development and mobile services.[42] In June 2014 David Marcus announced he was leaving his role[43] as PayPal President; Marcus joined PayPal in August 2011 after its acquisition of Zong, of which he was the founder and CEO.[44] David Marcus succeeded Scott Thompson as president, who left the role to join Yahoo.[44] PayPal announced that Marcus would be succeeded by Dan Schulman, who previously served as CEO of Virgin Mobile and Executive vice president of American Express.PayPal MyCash Reloadable Card Embezzlement[edit] PayPal MyCash (PPMC) cards are purchased and loaded at retail and pharmacy stores in the US. These cards are provided by the corporation InComm. Funds can only be loaded to PayPal accounts, and are done so by scratching off silvering on the rear of the card to reveal a secure PIN. It has been discovered that these secure PIN numbers are stored plaintext in a database, accessible to many InComm IT employees. Employees have taken PINs and loaded or traded them for their own purposes. Meanwhile victims have their claims investigated by the company ITC Financial Licenses under InComm, with a very broken model which blames victims as participants in Victim Assisted Fraud. The extent of this situation is not yet known, but a victim with a small blog was able to find $5000 in victims while researching his own case to ultimately prove this. A video reveals a PIN number being known before silvering has been scratched off, and the victim was able to trace the account one of the cards was loaded to back to a former InComm Database Administrator.
