How I lost my $50,000 Twitter username

Good god. I would have been raging against Paypal and GoDaddy something fierce had this happened to me. I would have shown the hacker emails to them too, and then (if it was possible) sue Paypal for giving out the last four digits of my card.

Couldn't she have reported this criminal act to someone better suited dealing with it than GoDaddy or Paypal?


Now I'm worried about who can access my Paypal. 😱

This.

Also, WTF Godaddy should have been possible to see the change in the data at the date she told them, be able to figure out why it was made, and then figure out that indeed it was an attack.

Not going to the police with this right away is a bit weird though. They could probably easily figure out who took control of that twitter account now.
Why people would be criminals over Twitter accounts anyway - and get into direct contact with the victim - is somewhat hilarious.
 
Couldn't you just password protect the PayPal account over the phone? My Comcast account is password protected. If you call up asking for anything they require the password. I've been doing that since I had a POTS line 8 years ago! Now I think I'll see about doing this with PayPal.

PayPal, what an oxymoron.
