Post resolution to paypal account hacked
My paypal account got hacked last night by a Chinese script kiddie.

Make sure you have a strong password.

Paypal caught one fraudulent transaction before I even called them early this morning.

Paypal tells me all will be refunded but it will take 3-4 business days to put the money back in my paypal account and then another 3-4 business days to transfer the money back to my bank account.

Argh.

"My paypal account got hacked last night by a Chinese script kiddie."

Was it through an "official" Paypal email?
