This morning I have awoken to find 5 payments from my Paypal account to
Nexon.net.

Looking at it, it is a gaming site but I have never heard of them and
certainly not made any payments. I have changed my PP password and
started an incident report.

hmm, no one's signed up to that maplestory thing have they? i know
i've heard of that, and i think it lets you "buy" stuff ingame.

Paypal and eBay were recently hacked, although they successfully kept the
story out of the mainstream media. eBay is trying to play it off as the
result of careless response to phishing, but it was actually some sort of
low-level database dump that got posted online. I'm wouldn't be surprised
to find that account information was already being abused like this.
Sympathies, Jon.
