    I keep getting this message when i log on to paypal, and when i click on any other other links in the paypal website, I'm immediately sent back to to this page.

    "Security Measures

    Does it sound legit? Or has paypal been hacked? Wtf?

    They want me to re-confirm my credit card number, bank account number, AND my paypal debit card number..
