"Paypal is practicly the most used by criminals," is the bold remark of one in it for the money hacker. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5407516.stm I have a deep, deep gut wrenching feeling about that statement.
Maybe PayPal is used by 75% of the hackers because PayPal is used by 75% of *everybody* who wants to move money around, but doesn't want to give an actual credit card number to the other person? (Or whatever the numbers are - I'm willing to bet that we'll discover that 95% of the hackers spend at least part of their money at Amazon and eBay. That doesn't necessitate that Paypal, Amazon, or eBay are in cahoots with hackers....)
