Comments
Although PayPal has not been subject to a public financial penalty from the CNIL to date, the authority alerted users and launched an investigation in 2013 following increased data sharing with third-party partners.
Security risks persist throughout 2025, with a massive leak exposing 15.8 million identifiers and passwords, which were offered for sale on hacker forums. Simultaneously, between July and December 2025, a vulnerability in the "PayPal Working Capital" application enabled the extraction of customer data and led to unauthorized transactions on certain accounts.
