Make sure to use a unique C&C:Online password

Ok turns out sarl europe is actually the account for ebay fees so it wasn't an unauthorised transaction. My mistake.

 

However I think it is best to stress to everyone to avoid using same passwords for various accounts and websites especially when hackers could be drawn to exploits in a community driven network.

Somebody tried to use my account to transfer £10.35 to a account named Sarl Europe soon after I signed up.

 

I used an old password which was linked to a redundant paypal account but fortunately nothing was taken. I have since changed passwords and it is now secure. But it is a big worry that none of the accounts on here are secure!!

Someone has probably hacked into your Paypal account. Not necessarily from here (since no one here would gain any kind of money with this Sarl Europe account). If you google search "Sarl Europe", you'll find many other cases similar to yours. Check your computer for trojans or for suspicious programs running on it and good luck.

This is already stressed every single time this password is mentioned. On the website, on the tutorials, on the registration form, and on the member profile. 

 

People just need to read.
