Get ready for a PayPal crisis next.  Many people got their paypal
accounts in order to pay for something on Ebay (the two services gained
popularity at about the same time) so it's almost certain that a
percentage of users decided on the same name and password for each
service.  Anybody stupid enough to have chosen that long-derided
practice is now probably noticing their Paypal account has been used for
nefarious purposes - or drained - as well.

Bad times!
