This left me wondering whether I should up the ante and attempt to gain control of a financial account using similar tactics. To put things into perspective, over the last 18 months I have successfully shown how easy it is to hijack a WhatsApp or Snapchat account without the right security set on the accounts. However, if banks are so secure, I wondered if there may be a way of attacking one of the most popular third parties that often already have complete access to people’s funds – PayPal. The security of typical banking apps impresses me immensely, and with my security hat on I have not yet thought of a way to bypass the usually robust in-built measures designed to protect the money of banks’ customers, which is entirely the way it should be. I have been fascinated with the thought of being able to break into a bank ever since my love for bank robbery films began in the 1990s, and I think I may have finally uncovered a way to do it – well, sort of.
Somebody could easily take control of your PayPal account and steal money from you if you’re not careful – here’s how to stay safe from a simple but effective attack
