Read the article, the credit card company didn't provide PayPal the info. As the story unfolded, we find out that the update was done through PayPal shenanigans that they refuse to explain: "After initially telling Go Public it got Acuña's information from the "account update services," PayPal backtracked a few days later, saying the account updater service "doesn't apply" in Acuña's case. So, how did PayPal get her new expiry date? It won't say, citing customer confidentiality — even though Acuña agreed to waive confidentiality to allow the company to answer Go Public's questions."
