My wife's credit card used to be tied to her PayPal account. It was stolen 4 times in 2 years and we had no idea why until our bank asked if she's been using it with PayPal and so she removed it and we haven't had a card theft event for about a year now...
- iotku 9y agoNot to say that Paypal's security is flawless, but it also depends on your wife's behaviors as well. Not having it attached to her PayPal reduces the attack surface a bit which isn't a bad thing. It's also completely possible that it either wasn't stolen from PayPal or that an unrelated breach (reused passwords on a compromised site etc) allowed someone to access the PayPal account.
