PayPal Data Breach

What's Happened

- a scammer has advertised 15.8 Million PayPal user details for sale on the Dark Web

- these Email Addresses and Passwords were claimed to have been obtained in May '25

- additionally, the scammer claims the leaked data contains the web site addresses of other sites where these details were used

- this means whoever buys this data can easily automate the 'data stuffing' of the details into multiple, already identified web sites

- PayPal has countered by claiming some of these come from a 2022 data breach in 2022 that affected 35,000 people
