CONFUSED WHETHER I WAS HACKED!!!!?

Posted at: 2015-05-24 
I RECIEVED AN EMAIL TODAY STATING I NEED TO "UPDATE MY ACCOUNT" ON PAYPAL, I CLICKED THE LINK AND PUT MY PERSONAL DETAILS, BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS, HALFWAY THROUGH I FELT WIERD CAUSE THEY ASKED ABOUT PASSWORDS ETC, TO MAKE STORY SHORT I DIDNT FINISH THE UPDATE AND TRIED TO LOG OUT BUT "PLEASE FINISH THE UPDATE BEFORE LOGGING OUT" KEEPS POPPING. OUT OF DESPERATION I JUST CLICKED THE X BUTTON TO EXIT THE WINDOW. MY QUESTION IS DO THEY NOW HAVE ACCESS TO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT, MY BANK ACCOUNT, BECAUSE I CLICKED THE LINK? BUT PROVIDING THAT I DIDNT FINISH THE "UPDATE" AM I SAFE FOR NOW? PLEASE HELP!!!

If you did not click submit then it is unlikely they will get your information, but just to be sure, change the passwords on your accounts or contact customer care at your bank and at paypal about your concerns. You may be made to feel a little foolish for giving up this information so easily as evidenced by previous answerers, but do persist until all your concerns are cleared up for your own peace of mind.

You have not been "hacked" - that would imply someone getting access to your details without your action. In fact, you have been fooled into giving out your personal details voluntarily. Didn't you read those warnings never to enter such details in fake sites just because of a phising e-mail asking you to "update your details"? Why would PayPal need you to re-enter your details if they already had them before?

YOUR CAPS LOCK IS ON.

The email you've received is phishing.

You also need to do something about that caps lock button.
