15.8 Million PayPal Accounts Exposed Online

Massive credential leak raises alarm over identity theft and financial fraud risks for millions of users.

A hacking group claims 15.8 million PayPal login credentials, including emails and plaintext passwords, were exposed and sold on the dark web from a May 2025 breach. If true, this could enable identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized access to multiple accounts. PayPal denies recent breaches, citing a resolved 2022 incident, but cybersecurity experts warn the scale of the leak highlights ongoing data security risks. Users are urged to change passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and monitor accounts as investigations continue.

Hacks are inevitable—even AI can’t prevent them. Most realize the need for security only after it’s too late. Don’t be one of them. Protect your digital life now—use the most secure phone, laptop, and VPN.
