I was looking at my credit card activity and saw a pending transaction that had originated via PayPal and a merchant I didn't know. Turned out to be some video game dealer in Europe and the charge was small, so I'm guessing it was a "test charge" for whomever got my account info. So, I changed my password and security questions, then disputed the transaction with PayPal.
Anything else I need to do?
The good news is that the bank account I used to open my PayPal account years ago has long since been closed. They tried to get the charge to go through by deducting from that account, but it failed and defaulted to the secure credit card number (not my account number) when it was processed.
Was this someone using PayPal trying to hack my bank account?
