look like a couples hours after i canceled my payment account from taultunleashed ,someone was buying stuff on the net via my paypall account.
for over 500$ where stealed.
Bad idea to use the same passwords for a forum and paypall...i belive this guy where smart enough to try my email + same password from the forum and get accest to my paypall account.
i had to call mastercard and they will do a investigation.
why i came right here ? because in the last 6 month i use my paypall account only for my taultunleashed subscription.stuffs buyed was relative to video games.

Have you done a virus scan ?
It's a big call to say well it must be Tault if you have not done any leg work.
Your also correct you should not use the same username and password on your different logons. When one is breached the others will follow shortly after.

True dat!
Really though, if you were on Tault or any site like this and were not careful with downloading apps, scripts, etc., you could have been easily compromised.
I feel your pain, but would not advise posting accusations against a long-time standing site like Tault.

I know that TaultUnleashed is a legitimate site; there have been accounts of Flash based sites that are exploiting, as well
as a huge outbreak of keyloggers.
That is probably your problem, basing your claims around Tault is not right, obviously (and no offense to you) a novice,
who is unaware of using different passwords for PayPal, which is your money; and a community forum.

Avast is a horrible Anti-virus, use AVG Free edition, it is perhaps one of the best; and it is free. Also, reformatting once or sometimes twice doesn't get rid of deep viruses.

Our userbase passwords have not ever been compromised. I would say you had something else on your account that made it vulnerable. Just tell paypal someone took advantage of your account and ask for the ip of that account that had to log into your paypal account to help find out where in the world it happened from.
