In the past I've had someone try to get into my paypal but they didn't succeed. They get 3 chances to enter the correct password from their location and if they fail, they are locked out, which is probably what happened.
Just make sure you have a very good password and it doesn't hurt to change it every now and again and make sure it isn't the same password you use for other things. I don't believe the person got in at all. Paypal is just required to let you know that someone attempted to break into your account.

Just keep an eye on your bank statements. If you see any authorized charges, report them to whomever the person has made a purchase from, PayPal, and to your bank.
Someone in Nigeria got my banking info a few years ago and ordered two laptops and sent another $800 of my money to some bogus charitable fund to help feed people in Africa. I called the place they'd ordered the laptops from (Home Shopping Network) and was able to cancel those orders and the rest of the money was refunded by my bank. It was a relatively easy process that involved just filling out a form for each illegal transaction, changing my debit card and account #s, and changing my passwords. The money was refunded within a few weeks.

:hug: My hubby had something similar happen. Don't worry, change your password regularly and keep an eye on things. I cant really add to the other good advice you've already had here ( thanks everyone :grouphug: )

Did you use your device with a different wi-fi source than usual? Or from a different location? I know that can have an effect because I have opened my email with a usual source then opened it from a different state on that same source and got a message that there was unusual activity.
