Beware: PayPal “New Address” feature abused to send phishing emails www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

An ongoing PayPal email scam exploits the platform’s address settings to send fake purchase notifications, tricking users into granting remote access to scammers

For the past month, BleepingComputer and others have received emails from PayPal stating, “You added a new address. This is just a quick confirmation that you added an address in your PayPal account.”

The email includes the new address that was allegedly added to your PayPal account, including a message claiming to be a purchase confirmation for a MacBook M4, and to call the enclosed PayPal number if you did not authorize the purchase.
