PayPal Security Holes Expose Customer Card Data, Personal Details

mask.of.sanity writes "Dangerous website flaws have been discovered in PayPal that grant attackers access to customer credit card data, account balances and purchase histories. The holes still exist. One was publicly disclosed after a failed effort in July to responsibly disclose them under PayPal's bug bounty program. PayPal is working to close the holes."

    I've been converting my website clients to Stripe, now that they are available in Canada.

    These are clients I set up when they were just starting up and had no other means of accepting credit cards. Most now have merchant accounts, but some have transaction fees through the roof, Stripe has better rates in most cases and no monthly fees.
