Ask HN: Is anyone else seeing a steep increase in CAPTCHA and SMS verification prompts on PayPal lately? Yesterday alone I was sent two SMSes and had to solve at least one CAPTCHA. All from the same machine that I always use. It's really getting to a point where I rather use an alternative payment service when it's possible to do so.
Edit: Oh and everytime that happens I get a mail that there is a login with a new device from "dusseldorf nw de". No, I don't live in Düsseldorf, not even close. The fact that they misspell the name and that their GeoIP is reliably off doesn't inspire any more confidence.
- manmal 4y agoYes, I’m having the same issue. I thought it’s due to my recent accidental access with a VPN.
