Embarrassingly I reused my email password. So my email was compromised, someone logged into my Best Buy account bought $500 in gift cards using my PayPal account. It took several days for Best Buy to email the cards so by then I changed my password before the gift cards showed up.
I was able to get PayPal to reverse the charge but Best Buy refused to cancel the gift cards. I now have 2 factor auth turned on for everything I can. I tried several times for Best Buy to cancel the cards and return the money to PayPal to no avail. They just wouldn't do it.
